Gold Line Dancers Compete in the American Dance Collegiate Competition

DENTON, TX - Texas Wesleyan University Gold Line Dancers had a fantastic showing at the American Dance Collegiate Competition on Saturday, March 23rd.

The team, comprised of 8 members, competed with Team Hip Hop and Team Open Performance, a style consisting of jazz, pom, and hip hop, all in a 2-minute segment.

American Dance (@danceADTS) places Texas Wesleyan in the DIII category, with over 22 collegiate teams attending. The showing is Texas Wesleyan's 6th appearance in the competition since the team began in 2017, only missing the 2020 COVID year.

Here is how they finished:

College Division DIII Team Hip Hop: 1st Runner-Up

College Division DIII Team Open Performance: 2nd Runner-Up

College Division DIII Overall: 3rd Runner-Up

Dance solo entries/performances by Jaelynn Fields, Alyssa Acosta and Jaiden Gates.

We want to give a special thank you to the mentorship team who guided our team to success in this competition! First to Leticia Carr, who shared her choreography talent, mentored our team through changes, and provided direction to keep us progressing towards our goals! Second to Jazzmine Hampton, who continues to motivate our team, push us, and pave the path to Nationals.

Thank you for your support and dedication to our group this year!

The team is under the Direction of Coach Emily Snow.
