Institution/Business Type: Artist / Creative (Individual)

I am a dancer specializing in Haitian folklore. I began dancing in church as a seven year old. In high school, I was asked to teach what I had learned to young children. At 15, I was identified to receive more training and began attending courses at the Viviane Gauthier Company supported by generous community members. Since 2015, I have both taught and performed Haitian folkore dance and produced and presented multicultural performances, involving dancers from a variety of immigrant communities. My goal is to promote appreciation for Haitian culture and for those with Haitian roots, provide a continuing sense of connection to traditional dance.
