From the reviews
Grand Central Academy was recommended to us by some dear friends, and it has not disappointed. Prior to enrolling my two year old, I watched many routines that our friends were in. Now my little one is finally two and we were able to enroll her in ready set dance, the two year old class, and she absolutely loves it.
I recently enrolled my 3 year old in the Sparkle Babies program. I’m very impressed so far! The teacher is excellent and very patient with toddlers who might be fairly easily distracted.
I am a dancer at GCAPA and have been for 10+ years. I absolutely love it! The teachers truly want what’s best for their students and treat everyone like family. GCAPA gives skills to use inside and outside of dance. I have learned so much from dance skills to becoming a better person, this was all because of GCAPA!
We love GCAPA! Great teachers and awesome way to boost little one’s confidence levels. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to start or continue their dance experience.
Your first ballet class at Grand Central Academy of Performing Arts, Dance, Musical Theatre & Acrobatics for Kids & Adults
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
