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.
