About the Performance Company…


The GCDance Performance Company is an elite group of dancers, ages 7-19, that are selected to perform in competitions, touring performances, local promotions and shows. Dancers audition for the Performance Company during the summer and rehearse year-round. Throughout the winter and spring they compete at several regional competitions and local events.

 

These dancers learn to operate as team as they rehearse and train in their weekly classes. The dancers that are selected are committed, talented and hardworking individuals with a passion for dancing and performing.

   

The GCDance Performance Company has received numerous awards for both choreography and performance including cash awards and individual scholarships to schools in New York and Los Angeles.

Members of the GCDance Company learn about stage make-up, prop and set design, costuming, fundraising, ticket sales, auditioning and TV Production.

 

The GCDance Performance Company was founded in the fall of 1998 under the directed of Katie Sue McSwain. Over the years, the Company has become an established group of dancers that range in age from 7-19. The 2007-08 Performance Company had a total of 16 pieces of choreography and 17 Company dancers.

 

Audition Information:

All dancers that are selected for the Performance Company must audition every year. Previous Performance Company memebers are not guaranted placement in the following seasons. There will not be a set number of dancers that will be selected. The company is based on the dancer’s audition and previous training experiences. Dancers that are selected for pieces must have strong dance ability and precision with other similar dancers. We strive to use dancers with complementing dance ability to create a well-matched, well-rounded and clean piece.
