The Texas Dance and Step Association (TDSA) was organized in 2008 under the name Texas Step Team Association, Inc., also known nationwide as TSTA to promote the acceptance and provide structure for step teams in the State of Texas. TSTA/TDSA is the League recognized by schools and school districts across the State of Texas. This is in part due to TSTA/TDSA's standards, protocol and procedures.

Our commitment to a national and state wide standard has been key to our growth. TDSA has member teams in most major metropolitan areas in the State of Texas. Through the TDSA’s judges and coaches education program, member teams are ranked among the top teams in the nation. TDSA also has the most comprehensive coaches, judges and student education program as compared to other state leagues and organizations.
