What is CGSD Grayson Extreme?
CGSD Extreme is our competitive team here at Carol Grayson School of Dance. We believe each dancer has the ability to increase her/his physical, emotional, and intellectual well-being through our dance program. Our goal is to provide quality dance instruction through caring, professional instructors in a friendly, family-oriented atmosphere.
Our team competes in at least three competitions each year and national competitions during the summer. Our auditions take place the week after recital and our policies are in place from audition to audition.
