Gulf Coast Dance Theater

The spectacular dance productions put on by GCDT are made possible by three separate groups of dancers that all play a special role in our shows. GCDT strives to provide performance opportunities to dancers of all ages and abilities in the greater Pinellas County Area.

The young dancers that make up the Pre-Company are ages 5 to 11 who have been invited to participate through the school at Gulf Coast Dancenter. Dancers must have at least one year of dance prior to being invited. These dancers are invited because they have exemplified stellar classroom etiquette and are excelling in their weekly classes. Pre-Company dancers commit to either the Fall production, the Spring production, or both, and pay a membership fee accordingly.

​Dancers must be 12 years old by September 1st to audition for the opportunity to become a company member with Gulf Coast Dance Theater. Once they audition, they are placed as either an Apprentice, Corps de Ballet, Demi-Soloist, or Soloist with the Company. Once they commit to the season contract and pay the membership fee, they will perform in our full length productions, and throughout the community during the performance season. Rehearsals start in September and run (on Saturdays) through March with an optional performance opportunity in April. These dancers are on a pre-professional career track, and have to maintain a rigorous training schedule in order to fulfill the requirements outlined in their contracts.

Dancers that make up the Adult Company consist of Alumni, current and former professional dancers, parents, ​and teachers. The Adult Company joins the Theater company in productions of Alice and Wonderland in the Spring, and The Winter Gala with Cinderella. All adult dancers are invited to perform by the Artistic Director, or sponsored through a board member. They all volunteer their time for this performance opportunity, and may be asked to make a donation for their costume.
