GCAPA Dance Team

Dance Team is a process and we're here to walk you through it.
Attend the Interest Meeting to gather all the information that you will need to make an informed decision.  Get a list of the time and financial requirements to be a member of the Team.  Then sign up for the Clinics to get first-hand teaching of the audition material.  Need more help?  Come to the second clinic. Lastly, attend the auditions for placement and the possibilities for additional routines if that is what you seek.

Summer Protocols

2026 Summer Classes

Hello Summer Campers and Dancers!!

 

We are so excited to get started with you!  Get to know our Summer Protocols so that you can make a comfortable decision for your family.  There are limited spaces available in our camps!  

 

Open House

This will be the only chance for adults to be in the studio (see below). We recommend all students stop by to check out the studio and acclimate to the space for everyone's comfort.  You will have a chance to meet the instructors and make any purchases that you might need.  GCAPA will be closed June 15-June 16th following our annual recital.

Saturday, February 28, 2026 from 12:00-2:00pm

 

Camp Drop-off/Pick-up

When dropping off Campers we ask that you bring them into the lobby where we will check each child in and verify your emergency contact information. Please do not linger inside the building while we repeat this protocol with each camper. Cmapers should be dropped off before start time up to 15 minutes, no sooner.  Adults will not have the option to enter or stay in the lobby this Summer because of limited space.  For potty runs for yourself or siblings, we recommend using your home facilities before coming to camp.  

​

Camp Protocols

Based on current GCAPA guidelines:

  • Friday performances are for you family and friends, not random strangers or unknown public persons.

  • If your child has separation anxiety and is inconsolable, we will call you to pick-up and try again the next day.

  • Children engaging in biting, hitting, or overwhelming unruly behavior will be picked up by a parent and try again the next day.

 

Food/Snacktime

For snack time, we encourage (but do not require) you to pack your camper a fruit or vegetable as a snack.  WATER ONLY.  This helps us to avoid any allergies, sugar rushes, and behavioral issues.

 

Epipens

If your child has an epipen, please notify the instructor on the first day of the following:

  • What  your camper is allergic to

  • What signs your camper will show that we should look for

  • How to use your epipen

This protocol MUST be repeated each day the child attends camp.

 

Bags

Each camper should bring a bag to camp.  Bags should be labeled with your campers last name.  Snacks, water and dance shoes should be the only things inside your campers bag.  Toys must be kept at home.

 

Withdrawal - based on sudden illness

Please email a doctor's note outlining the symptoms or positive virus test so that we may credit your tuition to Fall or Summer 2026 tuition.  Please know your options BEFORE enrolling.

​​

We thank you so much for choosing Grand Central for your Summer Camps and look forward to an awesome, fun, safe Summer!!!
