ROUND ROCK ISD- HELPFUL LINKS
TEXAS FUTURE DANCE EDUCATORS ORGANIZATION
Texas Future Dance Educators (TFDE) was founded in 2008 in the Austin area. It is currently sponsored, funded, and managed by Round Rock ISD dance teachers and administration and is supported by the Texas Dance Educators Association (TDEA). It seeks to bring community, support, and opportunities for those students who plan to pursue dance in higher education and future careers. Each year the organization offers 1-2 big events that are open to students, high school age and above, who dance in both public and private schools as well as dance studios. It is open to all levels of experience in any local district or surrounding schools/studios. Students attending events can expect to be exposed to professionals in the dance community, have unique experiences aimed at the student dancer, and connect with other students hoping to pursue a dance education career at the studio, high school, college, or company level. Upon graduation, students can join TDEA to continue to support their future careers. Teachers can join as a supporter and businesses can join as a sponsor as well.
