JOIN OUR LEGACY

We Are America's First, Original & ONLY Non-Profit Dance Team Nationals... Since 1967!

Mission & Vision​

Miss Dance Drill Team USA is on a mission to make dance education more accessible for America's youth by continuing the legacy of our founder, the late Dr. Kay Teer Crawford (inventor of the worldwide dance competition industry), and our CEO, Brenda Crawford (who has transformed our non-profit organization into what it is today).

Our mission is to produce a variety of family-friendly dance industry events, dance competitions, master class dance workshops, and travel opportunities that unite dance programs across the United States toward a common cause: becoming one as a community that supports young dancers and teaching them about hard work, team collaboration, and perseverance against all odds.

BRENDA CRAWFORD

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER (CEO)
Brenda Crawford's extensive background in the dance studio industry proved an asset in the modernization of Miss Dance Drill Team USA into a brand that has continued to evolve and adapt to meet dance industry trends and emerging production aesthetics. Brenda took over as Chief Executive Officer upon the passing of her mother-in-law Dr. Kay Teer Crawford in 2001.

Having owned and managed the famed "Studio C" dance studio in Southern California for many years, Brenda's extensive connections within the professional dance industry and dance studio world helped bring MDDT into the future with new ideas and a willingness to adapt to a changing market (her children are all renowned dance industry professionals to this very day). By creating more opportunities for dancers to participate in our programs, she has helped our company maintain its focus on highlighting the best youth dancers in the United States. Brenda continues to provide invaluable guidance in the growth and expansion of our national brand. She also produces and directs our Street Dance USA and Six Flags Magic Mountain dance competitions in Southern California.
