Geary Dance Center, founded by Brooke Byrne & Sonoo H. Petty in 2011, was created to provide recreational dancers with excellent dance instruction, professional-quality performance experiences, and the benefits of long-term emotional, physical, and educational fitness. Geary Dance Center provides a nurturing, safe, and welcoming environment where dance can become a major part of someone's life. This is true whether they are a dancer or aspiring performers, as well as enthusiastic audiences. Dancers are encouraged to explore styles and genres that appeal to them. The only thing required is passion. GDC has classes for preschool, Ballet, Tap Jazz, Hip Hop, and Creative Movement. We also offer Jazz Funk, Musical Theater Jazz Jazz, Funk Jazz Funk, Choreography Character Dance, Modern Dance, and Adult Ballet. Our early dance education program FUNdamentals Of Dance is designed for children ages 2- 6. We also offer classes to kids ages 5- 18 with a syllabus-driven class, as well as to kids ages 11-18 through our Teen Accelerated Program (TAL). GDC offers summer workshops and camps, as well as adult classes, for children ages 4-7, 8-10, and 11-18.
