GDP Company

Led by Kara Gilliam, the award-winning GDP Company represents the studio at multiple regional and national dance competitions throughout the year. Open to dancers ages 5+, our audition-only company is for dancers and families serious about making the season-long commitment. Auditions are typically held in June. Rehearsals start in August, and our season runs through July when we attend a National Competition. We offer competitive opportunities for all genres and talent levels.

The GDP Company has been recognized throughout our region, earning many overall awards and Top 10 placements. Our team of soloists also includes Regional and National Title Holders. Our studio regularly wins entertainment, choreography, and studio spirit awards. We were also awarded the ADCC Studio of Excellence Award, the Turn it Up Studio Award, and the Class Act Studio Award multiple times.

It’s a great opportunity for our dedicated dancers to share their love and passion for dance while competing and performing on stage. At GDP, we don't just teach dance. We want our kids to become well-rounded individuals inside and outside the studio. We pride ourselves on teaching our dancers not just how to win a trophy or title but how to learn and demonstrate good sportsmanship, grasp the true meaning of teamwork, and grow individually.

Auditions for the 2026-2027 GDP Company are now complete. Check back next year or follow us on Facebook and Instagram for more information about the 2027-2028 audition process!
