Colorado CommUNITY Elite Drill Team

Building Resilience, Confidence, and CommUNITY in Colorado's youth—one step at a time.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER

Colorado CommUNITY Elite Drill Team

• Colorado CommUNITY Elite Drill Team

Step is a time-honored tradition in the African-American community, tracing back to the early 1900s as a form of self-expression and cultural pride. Over the years, step has evolved into a competitive art form, with teams incorporating elements of dance, percussion, and spoken word to create dynamic performances.

At Colorado CommUNITY Elite Drill Team, we carry on this tradition by using step as a means to build resilience, confidence, and community in the youth of Colorado. Through our whole-child approach, we provide mentorship, coaching, and educational support to children and youths from all backgrounds, empowering them to become leaders in their communities.

"We have taken on the task of exhibiting our talents to encourage other youth throughout our community. We are committed to cultivating, encouraging, and delivering a positive message with the hopes that everyone will be inspired."

-Mrs. Lynn King- Jackson | Executive Director

CommUNITY in Action


I am extremely grateful that my daughter, Jayda is apart of the C.C.E.D.T. family. The organization supports my child's growth in many ways. Jayda has come out of her shell, become a leader and made new friends. I am happy my daughter has a positive outlet within her community. 


This Sisterhood is exactly what my niece(s) need to stay focused on what matters most in their lives, God and themselves! They have great Teachers/Coaches and friends that motivate them to do their best and treat people with respect. They are definitely creating STRONG foundation for future Elite Drillers to become a part of.

  • Confidence is a key element in our approach to empowering girls within the Colorado Community Elite Drill Team. Through dynamic training, performance opportunities, and skill development, we aim to boost each girl's self-assurance. Our supportive environment encourages girls to embrace their unique talents and strengths, fostering a belief in their capabilities. As they master drill techniques and showcase their abilities, they not only gain confidence in their performance but also develop a resilient mindset that extends to various aspects of their lives. The Colorado Community Elite Drill Team serves as a platform for girls to build a strong foundation of self-confidence, empowering them to face challenges with assurance and poise.

  • Within the Colorado Community Elite Drill Team, we believe in empowering girls through the cultivation of genuine friendships. Our team environment encourages camaraderie and mutual support, fostering connections that extend beyond the drill floor. Through shared experiences and collaborative efforts, girls build lasting bonds that contribute to a positive and uplifting atmosphere. We celebrate the diversity of our team members, promoting an inclusive space where everyone feels valued and connected.

  • Empowering girls through character development is a fundamental aspect of our mission. The Colorado Community Elite Drill Team places a strong emphasis on instilling values such as integrity, discipline, and resilience. Through participation in drill team activities, girls have the opportunity to develop a strong sense of personal character. Guided by positive role models and mentors, they learn the importance of accountability, responsibility, and the impact of their actions, fostering a foundation for success both on and off the drill floor.

  • Teamwork lies at the heart of our empowerment strategy within the Colorado Community Elite Drill Team. Through synchronized routines, collaborative practices, and joint performances, girls learn the power of collective effort. Our team structure promotes communication, cooperation, and trust among members, instilling the understanding that individual success is intertwined with the success of the entire team. These experiences build valuable teamwork skills that extend into other aspects of the girls' lives, preparing them for future challenges and achievements.

  • The concept of sisterhood is a cornerstone of empowerment within the Colorado Community Elite Drill Team. Beyond the drill routines, we foster a sense of sisterhood that goes beyond the superficial. Girls on the team support each other's personal and professional growth, creating a network of encouragement and understanding. This sisterhood empowers each girl to be her authentic self, fostering an environment where individual strengths contribute to the collective success of the team. Through shared goals and unwavering support, the bonds formed within our sisterhood endure, creating a lasting impact on each girl's journey.
