Haitian Folkloric Dance Class

A weekly dance class at the Little Haiti Cultural Complex explores traditional Haitian folkloric movement through live music and guided instruction. Held every Saturday through June 20, the program offers an introduction to the rhythms, techniques and cultural context of Haitian dance.

Led by Dr. César “Yanui,” the class is accompanied by live drumming, emphasizing the connection between movement and rhythm central to Haitian folkloric traditions. Participants learn foundational steps and expressive elements drawn from various cultural dances, with an approach that welcomes both beginners and experienced dancers.

Open to the public, the class provides an opportunity to engage with Haitian culture in a community setting.
