Konpa Saturdays

Weekly dance sessions bring the lively rhythms of Konpa back to the Historical Mache Ayisyen in Little Haiti. Every Saturday, KOTR Dance Studio hosts Konpa Saturdays at the Little Haiti Cultural Center, offering free lessons in the Haitian-born partner dance known for its fluid steps and upbeat tempo.

The program, supported by the Little Haiti Revitalization Trust, is part of a broader effort to celebrate and sustain the neighborhood’s cultural heritage. Alongside the dance class, visitors can explore Haitian cuisine, browse pop-up vendors, view live art displays and shop for traditional crafts. The open, community-centered atmosphere makes Konpa Saturdays both a cultural immersion and a weekend social gathering in the heart of Little Haiti.
