Lyford Clay International School invests in a New Standard For Dance Education
Lyford Cay International School L
yford Cay International School (LCIS), one of the leading international schools
in The Bahamas, has
strengthened its commitment to performing arts education with the opening of a new performing arts centre featuring a dance studio equipped with Harlequin Flexity sprung performance fl oor topped with a Harlequin Cascade performance surface and Harlequin ballet barres. The installation provides students with a professional environment designed to support safe training, creativity and performance. Founded in 1962, LCIS is the only school
in The Bahamas to offer the International Baccalaureate programme from the earliest years through to Grade 12. Known for its strong academic standards and high-quality facilities, the school continues to invest in spaces that support student development across both academic and creative disciplines. Courtney Celeste Fox, dance department chair and director
at LCIS, helped grow
dance into a popular and valued part of the curriculum after launching an after-school programme that quickly expanded.
As
student interest increased, so did the need for a purpose-built space that matched the ambition of the school’s young performers.
Lyford Cay International School Bahamas, Blair J Meadows
Speaking about the new studio, Countney
said: “For as long as I’ve known about dance fl oors, I’ve known that Harlequin was the gold standard. The quality, the craftsmanship, and the longevity of their fl oors are unmatched. When it was time to design our new studio, I knew I wanted to invest in something that would last, a space that would set the tone for excellence and truly support the dancers who fi ll it.”
Specifying the correct fl oors for dance education is vital, helping students train with confi dence without risk of slips and falls or longer-term stress injuries. It instills confi dence in dancers to give full expression to their creativity, safe in the knowledge the dance fl oor will offer a consistent response. For schools,
looking to enhance their performing arts provision,
colleges and universities investing in the right
studio environment can make a lasting difference to both student wellbeing and programme quality. To fi nd out more about specifying dance
fl oors for education spaces, contact the Harlequin team today.
