Summary: We show that if $(A,G,\alpha)$ is a groupoid dynamical system with $A$ continuous trace, then the crossed product $A\rtimes_{\alpha}G$ is Morita equivalent to the $C^*$ -algebra $C^*(\uG,\uE)$ of a twist $\uE$ over a groupoid $\uG$ equivalent to $G$ . This is a groupoid analogue of the well known result for the crossed product of a group acting on an elementary $C^*$ -algebra.
