Description

The Dance Festival is a biennial festival which gives dance teachers and choreographers an opportunity to choreograph dance pieces for expression to a local, regional and international audience.

It also provides the opportunity to develop the dancers skills in certain genres of dance from workshops conducted.

It is an opportunity for Grenadians on a whole to embrace Grenadian professionals who have done exceptionally well in the diaspora in the area of dance.
