​

The audition is free, and there are no additional fees to perform with GGDC/GGDC2.  Company dancers pay a set price for their monthly classes at Gary Geis School of Dance, and are asked to purchase any required dancewear (NOT costumes) that they will use during the season.   

​

The audition will consist of a ballet class, followed by jazz and/or modern combinations.  New students are welcome, and encouraged, to audition!

​

GGDC consists of upper level Intermediate, and Advanced dancers, and is divided into Apprentices, and Company Members.  Many of these dancers are also en pointe, although it is not a requirement.  GGDC dancers and Apprentices take a minimum of 4 classes per week (depending on their class level) and many take up to 7 or 8 classes per week in addition to rehearsals for upcoming performances. 

​

GGDC2 consists of true Intermediate level dancers.  These dancers take a minimum of 3 classes per week in addition to rehearsals for upcoming performances.

​

In addition to weekly classes, dancers may rehearse on Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, depending on company placement and casting for upcoming performances.
