Grand Central Academy of Performing Arts, Dance, Musical Theatre & Acrobatics for Kids & Adults - Dance school in Cornelius - 19615 Liverpool Pkwy, USA

GCAPA is a studio that teaches technique and builds confident dancers. The choreography talent from the teachers is phenomenal. Great competition team! The recitals and community performances are professional grade! They offer a free trial class for new students.

My daughter is in her 6th year of dancing at GCAPA. Her technique, skills, and confidence has grown and developed quickly in this time. She absolutely loves it and always enjoys going to class. My husband and I appreciate the modest and age appropriate costumes and choreography. My daughter and I have both made friendships that will last forever and are truly grateful.

My son started at Grand Central Sept 2022 as the only boy in the studio! He was welcomed with open arms and treated with equality! When we was nervous to perform in front of a live audience, the studio owner, Miss Wendy, went above and beyond to make him more comfortable! From then on, he has only shown improvement! Towards the end of last year, a few more young boys joined his dance class and this year, the studio started a boys only dance class! We are very satisfied with Grand Central and live being a part of the dance family! 10/10 recommend for boys and girls! The performances are such a joy to watch!

My daughters started at GCAPA roughly 3 years ago. They have learned the basics of ballet, tap, jazz, hip-hop, acro, musical theatre, and lyrical styles. They have performed in local parades, showcases, and recitals; as well as, regional and national competitions. They love the variety of music and dance styles they are exposed to, their instructors, and the many friends they've made in over the years. I've seen their confidence, coordination, and even communication skills improve each year. My daughters are much more comfortable on stage, under the spot light, in front of an audience. They've learned that struggling with something new is just part of the process and that perseverance and asking for help are keys to success. And that's translated into better concentration and performance with their academics as well. While these lessons aren't free, the value (physical skills, mental toughness, friendships, and memories), well exceeds any cost associated with the training and performances. This is an investment into my daughters' futures that I'm happy to make.

My girls have been dancing at GCAPA for the past 8+ years and have blossomed into confident, courageous and creative young ladies! Miss Wendi and the Crew push all of the dancers to do their best in a fun, encouraging, and supportive way. My girls absolutely love it there and have made friendships that will last a lifetime!

We love GCAP!! My daughter started classes here right after she turned 2! Everyone was wonderful, from the front desk to the teachers you couldn't ask for a better place. We are now in our second year and GCAP will be our dance home!

Fantastic place for all ages! Both my girls attend this dance studio Tuesdays and Saturdays. Ages 2 and 4. They absolutely enjoy it EVERY TIME they come! Join asap! I promise you won’t regret it!

I have had the opportunity to work with Miss Wendi as a faculty member as well as a fellow dance studio owner. Miss Wendi is incredibly organized, and she is a brilliant businessperson. She truly cares about every student that walks through her doors and makes sure they get a quality dance education. I respect Miss Wendi so much for dressing her dancers appropriately and keeping the choreography family friendly as well as extremely entertaining. She always makes sure that her staff gets ongoing training and continued ed which most studios do not require. Ask for a trial class. You won't regret it!
