Dancing since the age of three and competing since five, Gabriella combined a lifelong love of the art with a talent for teaching to bring GC Dance Company to San Diego. She has performed in professional productions of Annie, The Wizard of Oz, 42nd Street and Thoroughly Modern Millie — and her choreography has prepared dancers to perform on cruise ships, at Disneyland, opening for the Radio City Rockettes, and in Broadway musicals.
GC Dance Company opened its doors in San Elijo in March 2017. With small class sizes, students get hands-on attention in a creative, encouraging environment that nurtures every ability.
“it’s not about the trophy, but about instilling excellent instruction and a love and respect for dance.”
Beginning to advanced, recreational to competitive — each level builds on the last, with performance opportunities along the way.
Thirty minutes of intro to ballet, tap and creative movement, with fun songs and activities — designed around your child’s developmental age and stage. Parent & Me classes too.
Tiny Tot (3–4) is a first taste of dance; Pre-Dance (5–6) is the stepping stone to the “big kid class,” with more technique and classroom etiquette.
A structured path to dance excellence, from Level 1 (ages 6–8, 0–3 years’ experience) through Level 4, with progressive curriculum and performance opportunities.
Beginning Teen, Intermediate Teen and Int/Adv for advanced teens — whether they’re new to dance or refining their technique.
The competitive program nurtures dancers to become graceful, self-assured people — teamwork, responsibility, respect and a positive attitude toward collaboration. Company dancers compete at multiple regional competitions through the season, and finish at nationals.
Beginner to intermediate, in a fun and supportive room — move and dance without pressure, and with a low commitment.

“My daughter loves GC dance company. She has been going to GCDC for almost 3 years! She loves her teachers, Miss Lily, Miss Hannah and Miss Jeanette. Not only do they make dance so fun but they also have taught her so much. We are here to stay at GCDC.”
