GVSU Dance Troupe

GVSU Dance Troupe GVSU Dance Troupe provides an opportunity for dancers and choreographers to express their passion for dance in a fun environment. FAQ:
Do we need to try out? No!

It is a non-competitive, student-run dance organization that caters to all dancing styles and levels. Grand Valley Dance Troupe is a student-run dance organization at Grand Valley. We pride ourselves in being a non-competitive dance organization focused on sharing our passion for dancing, while being welcome to all levels of experience. Each semester we work with a non-profit organization to raise

awareness, and support them through donations from ourselves and our supporters. We host a semester recital at the end of both Fall and Winter semesters where we showcase our hard work and friendships created through weekly practices, as well as representing the non-profit for the semester proudly. Dance Troupe is completely student-run, from our Executive Board to our choreographers. Join a passionate group of students as we celebrate the art of dance!! You do not need to try out to be a member of Dance Troupe! Tryouts are only held for individual dances and are at the discretion of the choreographer. I've never danced before, will I be the only one? Dance Troupe is open to students of all levels and abilities! We offer beginner dances for those new to the art of dance, all the way through advanced levels for those who have been dancing their whole lives! What kind of time commitment will I need to make? YOU are in charge of YOUR schedule! We will publish a schedule at the beginning of the semester with the classes available, and you can choose which dances you want to attend. Each dance class is 40 minutes long and is offered once a week. The only other commitments are our every-other-Sunday meetings, Spirit Week (the week leading up to the recital), and participation in two fundraisers.
