ABOUT US
Dance Grenada, founded by Shola K. Roberts is a platform for Grenadian and International dance artisans to share and increase their knowledge base of traditional and contemporary dance styles and techniques through dance workshops, performances and panel discussions, and symposiums while contributing to the larger Grenadian and dance community and the world around them.
​
Each annual festival is an opportunity to honor the cultural practices of Grenada while showcasing the illustrious gems that Grenada has to offer. Participants in each festival enliven and enrich their own, and each other’s, experience of dance and cultural heritage while adding to the larger Grenadian dance community. Dance artists, choreographers, and educators facilitate and promote dance performances, preserve cultural legacy, and facilitate community engagement.
