Glendale Community College

Whether your interest is recreational or career-oriented, explore movement, rhythm and your own expression in the GCC Dance program. Our faculty teach what they love - expert choreography, technical skill and expressive performance. 

VERVE, the resident dance company combines rigorous training and practice with the expert instruction of resident faculty and visiting master artists. VERVE dancers perform as guest artists with the Arizona Dance Festival and Center Dance Ensemble, and have been accepted into four-year dance programs such as the University of Arizona and University of Utah. VERVE’s original choreography and performances have received accolades and recognition within the Maricopa Community College District and in the larger southwest region.
