About this program

Bring the energy, resilience, and beauty of Haitian culture into your classroom with Sounds of Haiti, an engaging dance workshop designed for students of all ages. Through the rhythmic movements of traditional Haitian folklore dance and vibrant live or recorded music, students will get their bodies moving while immersing themselves in the rich cultural heritage of Haiti. 

More than just a fun and active experience, this workshop is a powerful exploration of history, identity, and empowerment. As the first Black nation to gain independence—overcoming one of the world’s strongest colonial powers—Haiti’s story is one of strength, resistance, and pride. Students will discover often-overlooked positive aspects of Haitian culture, from its traditions and artistry to its pioneering role in the global fight for freedom. 

Requirements: gym or other space where students can dance.
