Haiti, the second independent republic in the Americas, merges three cultural sources: African, American and European. The dances and culture of Haiti have been extremely important in the development of American dance, thanks to the pioneering work of Katherine Dunham. Instructor Peniel Guerrier draws from his extensive knowledge of Haitian folkloric dance to create original combinations within the different traditional Haitian rhythms. His dances enhance the energy and flow of traditional forms with beautiful, vivid body shapes. Guerrier is highly regarded as a teacher because of his thoroughness, kindness and the individual attention he gives to students of all levels.
