Dance

The Dance Program of Grand Center Arts Academy maintains a supportive, rigorous and challenging dance atmosphere, preparing students for the requirements of today’s professional dance world. The knowledge, discipline, creativity and serious nature of our dance program aids students toward advancing their education in conservatories, universities and colleges as they prepare for careers in dance. The instructional program utilizes the artist-teacher instructional concept, allowing students the advantage of knowing and experiencing dance as an art. Visiting artists will serve as role models and guides to dance students so they may gain a clear outlook about their career choices. With the knowledge gained at GCAA, students will become technically sound, confident and disciplined for any future they aspire to achieve.
