Grand Central Academy of Performing Arts, Dance, Musical Theatre & Acrobatics for Kids & Adults

We’ve had such lovely experience at this dance studio. My daughter looks forward to going every week. The new studio is spacious and looks great! We couldn’t be happier taking our daughter there.

My daughter just finished her third year at GCAPA and I could not be more happy, grateful, and honored to be a part of this studio. I have seen the growth in her technique across all genres but most of all, her overall attitude. She has become more open to constructive criticism, more self-aware of her strengths and weaknesses, and learning to embrace the journey. GCAPA has been an important part of her individual growth so I have to thank them tremendously for making such an impact. Studio owner, Wendi Bergstrom, has a vision. I am always in awe of the outcome of the performances, costumes, and creativity. It is all encompassing. She has built a team which exudes passion, fervor, and positivity, which pours into their dancers. Her studio is not just a place to learn dance. You are part of a cohesive community where you are always celebrated and supported. It brings me much comfort to know my daughter is part of a studio that teaches her life skills she can take anywhere. All I can say is…hang in there and trust her process! Thank you Wendi and your GCAPA Crew for all you do day in and day out.

As a fellow dance studio owner, I’ve had the pleasure of knowing this studio owner through our industry for several years, and I continue to be impressed by the standard she sets both artistically and professionally. Her commitment to her students’ growth is evident in every class she leads—her choreography is thoughtful, inspiring, and grounded in true artistry. This studio is run with integrity and an admirable level of organization. Wendi approaches the business side of dance with fairness, transparency, and a genuine desire to uplift the community. It’s refreshing to see someone balance passion and professionalism so skillfully. If you're looking for a studio that values technique, creativity, and a positive learning environment, I can confidently recommend Wendi. The dance world is better with leaders like her in it. As if that wasn’t reason enough, she has a HUGE state-of-the-art studio!

Our daughter danced there for 7 years and now realize we should’ve left a lot sooner than we did. We dealt with so much drama from the owner(and still are) but stayed because of the friendships she had with the other dancers. There are plenty of other quality dance studios in our area to consider.

My 11 yr old started dancing at GCAPA over the summer. She had no experience but knew she wanted to try it. At first she was hesitant since most have been dancing as toddlers. From the get go, Miss Wendi and her team of brilliant and talented teachers, reassured her, you are never too late to start. Everyone genuinely cares about the success and happiness of each dancer. My daughter comes home very happy and can not wait to show us what she learned. Since starting she has gained so much confidence not only as a dancer but in herself. I highly recommend GCAPA! If you are looking for a quality dance studio that teaches to all levels, look no further. You will not be disappointed.
