520 $a This dissertation researched the drill team performance of young African American females youth and examined their unique creativity and style of "drillin". Drill team performance was a means of self-expression and supported the passionate comittment of young African American females to strengthen their identity, self-esteem and liberation within the creative arts. The young African American female's self-reflection and self-evaluation about their drill performance style within the contemporary dance arena has not been explored or recorded. Moreover, the creativity of young African American female's within contemporary drill team performance is undocumented in the literature.
520 $a The purpose of the study was to understand and document what young African American females say about their dance creativity through their self-evaluation of how and why they perform on drill teams in urban public schools at the secondary level. The study incorporated the themes of black feminist creativity and standpoint theory as a framework for examining the perspectives of young African American females about their drill team performance.
520 $a This research questioned and contextualized how these young performers on the Diva High Drill Team expressed their dance creativity through their body movements, dress uniform, hair styles, choreography, personal attitude and commitment to perfection when performing a drill routine. These young women who performed on drill teams challenged socio-cultural expectations and normative standards of the female's role and style.
520 $a A major component of this dissertation was the videodocumentary produced by this researcher titled Feet Don't Fail Me Now: A Cultural Celebration of African American Drill and Step Team Competition (1999) as part of the compilation of research data. This research contributed to established and emerging trends linking women's studies, cultural studies and media studies specific to the arena of contemporary black dance by uncovering the voices of young African American females who were determined and committed to not let their "feet fail them now."
