Founded in June 2007, Ishay School of Dance is an organization dedicated to youth of the African Diaspora which provides dance training of a professional quality. Through the disciplines of traditional Afro- Caribbean, Ballet, Modern and Hip hop dance we aim to encourage successful leaders in our community and of the world.
Our program aims to empower our students with guidance as they learn not only dance but self discipline ensuring a healthy self esteem. I shay School Of Dance provides students with leadership and life skills and a clear understanding of culturally diverse dance technique and music.
Through various community projects we've exposed our students to dance in a larger picture of how it can be used to pull together a community, and translate as an international language. Our past performances include; Carassauga -Mississauga, Irie Music festival -Nathan Phillips square, Heritage Day- Pickering, Dixie and Bloor Neighborhood services Summerfest.
We provide a creative space for our students to release negative energy in a positive way, and present a very rewarding experience for each student; a key component to the company is the educational benefits. Students gain a plethora of knowledge on cultural heritage of numerable parts of Africa and the Caribbean region, all through storytelling, disciplines of dance and drumming.
