Petite Elite Dance Company
Ages 7 – 10 | By Audition Only
Grace Conservatory introduces the Petite Elite Dance Company for dancers 7 to 10-years old. This dance company will perform in and around the Northeast Florida area with numerous performances throughout the year (but not every activity in which GCDC performs). This company trains dancers who eventually want to be a part of our Grace Conservatory Dance Company (GCDC). Those who choose to audition for the Petite Elite must complete the Petite Elite Accelerator during the summer and audition in August. The audition is a one-day only event and there is not an alternative day.
The Petite Elite Accelerator: Ages 7 to 10
The Petite Elite Accelerator is a half-day camp designed to give younger dancers a glimpse of our full-day GCDC Accelerator. Your dancers will receive instruction in Contemporary, Jazz, Ballet and Hip Hop. They will have the unique opportunity to learn from multiple instructors in a collective setting, followed by break-out sessions that allow them to focus on specific choreography. We will end the week with a showcase of choreography learned. This camp is a requirement for any dancer who wants to audition for the Petite Elite Dance Company.
Grace Conservatory Dance Company
Ages 8+ | By Audition Only
The Grace Conservatory Dance Company (GCDC) is an audition-only group for dancers 8 years-old and older that focuses on the importance of teamwork and performance. We require our GCDC dancers to set the example in grace and poise for the rest of the studio. Dancers selected for the company will have the opportunity for additional performances throughout Northeast Florida. The GCDC has performed at the Jacksonville Christmas Tree Lighting, the Eddy Awards, Daytona, St. Augustine Christmas and Easter parades, aboard cruise ships, at Disney, and even in New York City. Those who choose to audition for GCDC must complete the Accelerator camp during the summer and audition in August. The audition is a one-day only event and there is not an alternative day.
