Glencoe Dance Team

Program History

The Tide Dancers is the Varsity Dance Team at Glencoe High School. High Schools across Oregon first adopted Dance or Drill teams in the 1980s. Glencoe has a long and successful history in the Oregon High School Dance Team community. Glencoe's Dance Team, formerly known as the "Tidettes," earned 11 State Champion titles in it's over 20 year history (1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, and 2004)!

Glencoe is proud to rebuild it's Dance Team after a several year hiatus, and we are thrilled for what our third season has in store. While the Tide Dancers are a Varsity team, you do not need to have formal dance experience to join the team. We are interested in students who have a passion for dance and are willing to work hard in a positive team environment.
