The Good Counsel Repertory Dance Company
The GC Repertory Dance Company is Good Counsel’s very own dance company that began in the spring of 2020. The company consists of experienced dancers (levels intermediate to advanced) with knowledge in styles such as tap, ballet, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, hip-hop and modern. Company members are students with departmental permission to enroll in a full-year of honors-level dance (either Advanced Jazz or Advanced Modern) who rehearse as a company during the school day for class credit. Students are graded regularly during class time, as well as for their required performances outside of class time. The GC Repertory Dance Company offers our advanced dancers the opportunity to train and perform in our state-of-the-art Performing Arts Center and Black Box Theatre throughout the year, in our own fully-produced dance concerts, at school events, and at various instrumental and choral concerts.

The GCTC Dance Ensemble
The GCTC Dance Ensemble is a group of experienced dancers with a special interest in theatre and musical theatre. This group of dancers works hand-in-hand with the theatre department, performing onstage as featured dancers in Good Counsel Theatre Company’s annual productions. The GCTC Dance Ensemble is cast per production, meaning whenever there are roles for dancers in a show, we audition dancers for the ensemble. Featured dancers train throughout the year during rehearsals, enjoy additional performances like the Allison Awards, and participate in dance clinics throughout the summer.
