#GSTREET ISN’T JUST A TEAM — IT’S A TAKEOVER.

 

Our award-winning competition teams have been making serious waves for over 20 years — and we’re still leveling up. With next-level choreographers, powerhouse directors, and a track record of top scores across every category, #GSTREET is where elite training meets unmatched performance energy.

Our dancers don’t just show up — they deliver. Many of our alumni have gone on to work on Broadway, perform on national tours, and take the stage at the highest levels of the industry — all after building their foundation right here at Garden Street. We’re proud of our legacy — and even more excited about what’s next.

This isn’t just about trophies. It’s about building confident, focused, fearless performers. Whether it’s Dance, Musical Theatre, or Vocal, our companies are built on:

  • Leadership

  • Community

  • Teamwork

  • Discipline

  • True performance power

We create a space where confidence beats comparison, and performers push each other to rise.
No drama. No ego. Just talent, passion, and the will to grow.

Ready to Rise?

We’re actively looking for driven, passionate, and hard-working dancers and performers to join the 2024–2025 #GSTREET teams.

New pricing. New structure. Same fire.
Now is the time.

Step Into the Spotlight with Garden Street Teams

This isn’t just dance — it’s your fast lane to the industry’s biggest stages and screens. Every dancer on our teams unlocks exclusive access to pro auditions, private meetings with top talent managers, and front-row opportunities for film, TV, and Broadway casting calls you won’t find anywhere else.

Led by Annie DiStefano — industry insider, powerhouse mentor, and mom to two teenagers crushing it in TV, film, and Broadway — Garden Street is where serious dancers get the connections, coaching, and insider edge to break in and blow up.

If you’re ready to stop chasing dreams and start owning the spotlight, this is your launchpad.
