East Texas Dance Company

East Texas Dance Company is a dance studio on Ray Creek Drive in Longview, offering classes, drill team preparation and competition teams for East Texas dancers. It's the continuation of the Tina Grider School of Dance: Tina Grider-Lyon led the studio for 35 years and still teaches there full time. Alexis Marjason is the director and studio owner, now in her 19th year at the studio and her fifth as owner, and she also directs the TNT Dancers. The studio's alumni include a long list of Kilgore College Rangerettes and other collegiate dance team members, and new families get a free initial consultation.
