Our Caribbean Dance Workshops
The Cultural Dance Troupe's activities are divided into three main areas. We run a dance school serving over 100 children with After - School and Saturday Programs at our studio. The Summer Program is an expansion of this year round instruction: we typically enroll over 120 students at the studio, and another 60 at satellite locations in city schools.
