About
As the world moves into a more technological space, for the first year since its inception, Dance Clinic GBI will be held digitally.
This two-day experience will feature master class sessions in Ballet, Modern, Jazz, and CaribFunk Fitness as well as engage participants in health and wellness talkbacks and what it means to move dance forward in a digital era. As we continue with our mission to provide unstinting access to first-class training from industry professionals, each day of class will be totally open to the public.
Though you don't have to be a dancer to participate in the experience, pre-professional dancers are encouraged to do so as they will have the opportunity to take part in dance technology research studies or demos, have complete access to a private Facebook Community, group Q & A sessions with additional industry professionals, and be equipped with materials to help further their dance careers while aiding in the advancement of health and wellness.

What Is Dance Clinic GBI?Founded in September 2016, on the premise of giving back to community, Dance Clinic GBI is dedicated to the enhancement of the arts through quality dance training on the island of Grand Bahama, Bahamas. Through our workshops, we encourage the exploration of careers in the arts and create a safe space for students to be open about pursuing their dreams. With the vision to offer free dance training to students interested in advancing the study of their craft, we host international dance professionals willing to share their knowledge of industry. We stand firm in the belief that the arts are an important part of the human experience and as such, access to the arts should always be a right.
