About classical ballet in Haiti Advice to aspiring young dancers There is dance and there are great dancers in Haiti, but classical ballet is not common at all and it has been my dream since I started dancing to bring everything from what I have learned throughout my career back to my mother land. Go, give it a try, push for your dreams and don’t ever take no for an answer if you really want it. Everyone has opinions but at the end of the day with hard work, it will always pay off and you will never know how good you are, or how far you can go, if you do not try. To Haiti’s visitors . . . Give the island a scan from north to south, there are different amazing things one can enjoy in each and every city in Haiti. Of course, the Citadelle, Basin Blue, More Pilboro, Jacmel and the rice fields in Artibonite are not to be missed. While in Artibonite try my most favorite dish in the world “diri blanc, sauce pwa blanc avec lalo”
