The student production is just around the corner and we want to be sure you have all the information you need to make the event stress-free and fun!
For the convenience of parents and students alike, we separate our Annual Student Production into three distinct shows, and we make each of them a reasonable length for audiences to enjoy from the opening to the closing curtain. The Noon show features our Performing Troupe students in their solos, duets and trios. It lasts about 75 minutes. The 4pm show features our youngest dancers in Tiny Tot, Discover Dance and Elementary classes, lasting about an hour. Our 7pm show features our Intermediate, Teen and Performing Troupe students and takes about 2 hours.
Please read the info below and contact us if you have any questions, and be sure to click the links as necessary to view more details. As always, we appreciate your dedication to the arts and your support of G. Scotten Talent Center. We truly enjoy working with your kids. Thank you for sharing them with us.
Sincerely,
Alyssa Scotten & Vicki Gillaspy

GSTC Summer Camp
June 11-15 / Grades K-12
Families can now register online to hold their spot in camp this summer. There is no up-front fee for this service. Your reserved spot will be confirmed with your camp tuition payment, which will be auto-charged on May 1. This is a terrific way to get into the camp of your choice without an early financial commitment.
BROADWAY DIVAS & DUDES (9 a.m. - Noon)
Kids will meet daily from 9 a.m.-Noon to learn exciting new dance routines from Broadway's most popular shows! Every morning, kids will enjoy three 45-minute dance classes in multiple dance disciplines including tap, jazz and lyrical dance. They will have one 15-minute snack break and 30 minutes at the end of each day to show off their newly acquired skills to other campers. There will be a performance on the last day at 11 a.m. Parents are invited to view the final performance. Students should wear dancewear or comfortable clothes, sneakers and/or dance shoes.
HIP HOP & JAZZ STARS (1-4 p.m.)
Jazz and Hip Hop dance is fun, high-energy, and upbeat! Your young dancer will begin each class with a thorough warm-up taught to fast, bass-pumping music. Dancers learn to isolate their bodies with control, precision, and rhythm. Students will learn choreographed combinations and are encouraged to freestyle and just groove to the music! On the last day of camp, parents are invited to attend a 30-minute informal showing at 3 p.m. where students show off their moves and perform a short routine in unison. Students should wear dancewear or comfortable clothes, sneakers and/or jazz shoes.
TUITION
$135 - One Camp
$240 - Both Camps (Pick up at Noon, Return at 1 p.m.)
$265 - Both Camps plus lunch hour from Noon-1 p.m. (Dancers must provide their own lunch and beverage.)
