Dance is a popular performing art and sport in the Cayman Islands. Children and adults on the island are always heavily involved with performances, dance productions and theatrical shows.
For a small Caribbean island, the level and standard of ballet and dance classes available in Grand Cayman is on par with the USA or England. We have numerous dance studios which have been set up, and are run by professional former dancers, and their dedication and enthusiasm makes them incredibly popular. Students can also take professional exams, and annual dance shows with incredible costumes and outstanding choreography are held every year. Below, we list the best dance and ballet studios in the Cayman Islands.
