Become a Member of the Grandettes 'n Guys


The Grandettes 'n Guys is the performance dance unit of the Grand Drama & Comedy Club. 


Do you have some dance background, even if it was a while ago? Do you know what a kick ball-change is? Can you do a shuffle or flap tap step? Do you want to dance on the stage in a Club production? Then come join us and become a Grandette or Guy. It's so much fun, the perfect place to make new friends, and a great form of exercise.


The dance unit performs jazz and tap dances in the Club's Annual Variety Show, which is usually scheduled for mid-April. Auditions for the various dances take place the first week of January.


Each dance has a weekly 50-minute class, taught by one of our professional choreographers. Additional rehearsals are scheduled during the months before the show.


Check out a sampling of our past performances in the video clips below. Also, take a look at the wonderful costumes we've used throughout the 25-year history of the Grandettes 'n Guys performances.
