Chasity Tyus - Founder
Chasity most recently retired as the Head Coach of the Florida State University Golden Girls & Company Dance Team after 7 seasons of coaching. Under her direction, the Golden Girls & Co. have consistently placed in the top 10 at the Universal Dance Association Collegiate Nationals in the division 1A Jazz category, most recently 3rd place in 2023. In 2023, the GGs & Co were selected as the 2023 US National Jazz Team for the ICU Worlds Championship. The Golden Girls took home Gold against 10 other teams around the world making them, World Champions. The GGs & Co. also compete in the 1A HH Division at UDA where they have made finals the past 2 years. After many years of building under the direction of Chasity, the Florida State GGs & CO. have become one of the most sought after, competitive teams in the country.
Chasity started her love for dance while studio training in Kansas City, Mo at age 5. She went on to compete in studio competitions for 13 years where she won multiple solo and group awards. During high school, she fell in love with Dance Team while being a member of the Raymore-Peculiar Prowlers Dance Team. She continued her dance journey at the Collegiate Level by joining the powerhouse dance team program at Lindenwood University. As a 4-year Lion Line Dance Team member, she was Captain for 2 years and won 3 National Championships in Hip Hop and Jazz at the UDA Collegiate Dance Team Championships. In 2011, she became a NDA Staff Member under Varsity Spirit where she traveled around the country, teaching both high school and collegiate Dancers at their annual summer dance camps. At these Camps she taught, technique, gameday routines and team building skills and interacted with Coaches. She was promoted to Head Instructor and ran camps for 8 years. Post college, Chasity was the Head Coach of the Incarnate Word Dance Team for 2 years and was the Interim Head Coach for the Lindenwood Golden Line Dance team during her time in Grad School.
Currently, Chasity spends a lot of time traveling the country as a 7-year Veteran Judge for Varsity Spirit (UDA, NDA, All-Star), Dance Team Union and many Regional, State and National Competitions. In addition to, Chasity also spends time choreographing and consulting routines for High School, All-Star and College Dance Teams. She thoroughly enjoys using her expertise in dance team to guide and shape young, developing Dancers!
In 2020, Chasity implemented the official Dance Team recruiting process at FSU in an effort to be more aligned with other NCAA collegiate sports teams. Considering FSU was one of first few programs in the country with a Dance Team recruitment model, Chasity has become a trailblazer and expert in the recruiting space. With the addition of multiple recruitment clinics and attending recruiting events throughout the season, FSU has seen tremendous growth and exposure to the program. Chasity’s recruitment model at FSU has given dancers from multiple states and countries the opportunity to be apart of the prestigious program! Even though Chasity is no longer recruiting at the collegiate level specifically for the University, she is super excited to use her knowledge and expertise to guide Dancers for dance team at the next level!
