The campaign for excellence through dance began in 2008 when our Artistic Director, Stacy-Lee Abrahams, prepared a small group of children to represent Jamaica in the World Championship of the Performing Arts, in California, USA. Competing against contestants from over 35 countries, Stacy-Lee inspired her young and relatively inexperienced dancers to work hard and use each of their presentations to demonstrate excellence, reinforce positivity, and captivate their audience.   

After being awarded gold medals for all their entries in the competition and crowned 2008 Junior Grand Champions of the World, the campaign for excellence continued and our dance team grew exponentially. In partnership with other performing arts enthusiasts, we worked to develop our “From the Arts with Love“ outreach project and staged several theatre productions delivering messages of excellence, hope, healing, and restoration. 

Ycats thrives on the fulfilment of a promise from the Lord that He will seed His good work with committed members, resourceful parents, and generous supporters. The group has over 60 members and operates in a Christ-centred and family environment with nurturing parents and sponsors who support our work selflessly without expected returns. 

All who come in contact with our group have the opportunity to work with disciplined dancers who are motivated by each other, passionate about their work, committed to excellence, dedicated to serving humanity, and not afraid to be great.
