Teaching Children the Language of Dance
Founded in 1998 by Jennifer Schwartz, Garden Island Dance Academy has been a cornerstone of dance education on Kaua‘i for over 25 years.
GIDA is committed to teaching children the language of dance and nurturing young talent with patience, discipline, and care.
In a world full of distractions, meaningful dance training takes time, consistency, and support. PAFA allows GIDA to maintain and expand its programs while ensuring that no child is excluded due to financial barriers.
To our benefactors and performing arts lovers who share this vision — bravissimo.
