The Princeton Caribbean Connection (PCC), is proud to present a Kompa Dance Workshop as part of our Black History Month celebration. This dynamic event aims to highlight the rich cultural heritage of Haiti through kompa--a vibrant and expressive dance form that reflects the island's history and spirit, and a significant element of Caribbean cultural identity. Known for its rhythmic complexity, melodic richness, and dynamic partner dance sequences, Kompa has served as both a source of artistic expression and a unifying cultural force within the Haitian community and beyond.

Open to the entire Princeton community, the workshop will foster inclusivity and cultural appreciation while offering participants a hands-on experience of Haitian tradition. To enhance the experience, we will provide authentic Haitian finger foods and treats, creating a warm and welcoming environment for cultural exchange and connection. With the support of campus partnerships, this workshop will celebrate diversity, encourage engagement, and enrich our collective understanding of the Caribbean's contributions to global culture.
