G Crew Audition Information

Same as above.

What is G Crew?

G Crew is a new team at GSD. This team meets on Friday's from 5:05 - 6:05pm. This team will perform at in-town competitions, as well as additional venues in the FM area throughout the season (this could include basketball games, football games, West Acre Mall events, etc).

G Crew will focus on styles in Jazz, Hip Hop, Tap, Contemporary and/or Ballet.

What is the difference?

Our competition teams have more time commitment in rehearsing and performing. There is travel required and more rehearsal times to commit to.

G Crew is for a person looking for less commitment in travel and rehearsal time, but also being able to have the opportunity to perform.

Both teams offer great opporunities for our students in creating a bond with teammates, as well as being able to work on their technique and skills and bringing it to the stage. Performance helps with confidence as not only a dancer, but as a person.

We look forward to seeing you at Auditions!
