The multi-award winning First Dance Studios is Western Jamaica’s leading performing arts studio, located in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
They have successfully changed the landscape and contributed to the paradigm shift for the performing arts in Western Jamaica over the past 10 years. The overall value from their programs is nothing short of life-changing and a consistent underlying thread from their customers/parents is “with First Dance I get help to nurture a child that is really confident, happy, healthy and whole.”
Their approach offers a unique experience, which not only creates a multidimensional child who is creative and innovative, but research has proven that this approach is the answer to closing the gap that has left many children behind both cognitively and socially.
It has always been their goal to offer this opportunity to even more children and continue their mission to change lives through the arts. They continue to seek out amazing partnerships that will continue to increase the impact they have on our communities and countries’ socio-cultural environment.
