GY Dance, aka GY Wiz Kidz, is one of Sydney’s leading studios. It has been established for 32 years in south western Sydney.
Glenda is well respected within the Dance Industry, having trained so many professional performers. She is founder and President of Project Dance Australia, an examiner with the A.D.A, a regular speaker at The Australian Dance Festival and one of the creators of the new, innovative Ready Set Dance pre-school program.
Students receive excellent technical training, but equally important is the mentoring program. Regular visits from The Squared Division, Marko Panzic, Kaylie Yee and other leading choreographers give students an insight into the Industry. This is invaluable in their transition.
The art of becoming an entertainer is so much more than being able to do steps to music. Learning to connect with an audience is part of the training. The GY Wiz Kidz regularly perform at functions around Sydney to hone this craft.
This year they opened the Sydney Latin Festival to a huge, supportive audience who gave them a standing ovation, and they were the opening act at the MO Awards.
It is this training that has lead some of the youngest students to roles in virtually every professional TV and musical production including Matilda, The Voice Kids, The King and I, Opera Australia and most recently Sound of Music.
GY graduates have travelled the world working at Universal Studios, Disneyland and on cruise ships. Our most notable success is Kaylie, living her dream as dancer for Britney Spears and other American pop stars.
Local successes this year are Lyndall Wennekes top 5 in The Voice, Daniel Assetta feature role in Cats and finalist for a Rob Guest award, Matt Antonucci in Lion King and Rechelle Mansour touring with Velvet.
They all prove that excellent guidance and training, a great work ethic and the right attitude make dreams come true.
