52ND Annual "Miss Dance Drill Team USA"
& "Miss Dance Drill Team International" Pageants
Miss Dance Drill Team USA is a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of students through the Pep Arts. It was spearheaded until recently by its energetic and dynamic founder Dr. Kay Crawford, who organized the 1st Modern Drill Team in America (Texas, 1930). The Miss Dance Drill Team USA Pageant originated as a college course at Santa Monica College in California in 1968 as a showcase for the performing arts of Drill Team. And it's still going strong! Dr. Kay Teer Crawford spent her lifetime writing books, magazine articles, worked with famous entertainment producers throughout the world, listed in many "Who's Who" and Hall of Fames, and won many awards for her high level of achievement in the world of Drill Team.
