Testimonials
"Every move I make, my muscles remind me that I danced hard. I love this kind of muscle pain, the I got a good work out pain. I just can't help it when those Haitian drums start going, it just gives me ENERGY. I can always count on Portsha to deliver a fabulous class. It's that consistency, her good teaching energy and the live drums that keep me going even though I have this little one at home tugging on me. Oh and watch out when she comes back from a trip to Haiti - she's on fire! Love it!" - Parousha Z.
"Portsha Jefferson and Rara Tou Limen is the best, combining high energy in her dance classes with attention to detail and folkloric technique. Portsha also takes the time to explain the cultural background of traditional Haitian dances and rhythms. With skilled drumming by recognized masters, classes are suitable for all - from beginners to advanced students. You'll come away from these classes truly inspired by the rhythms, and ready for more! It's addictive!" - Coco K.
"What makes this "more than a dance class" so authentic is the knowledge, respect and overall love the instructor and lead drummer have for Haiti and its people. They stay connected to the larger Haitian community in the US and abroad. They truly love what they are doing, as it is seen in the way they take their craft seriously and operate so professionally. This class is the highlight of my week. I leave class feeling emotionally refreshed, physically strengthened, and spiritually full." - Halima M.
"A fabulous workout and cultural experience! Portsha Jefferson teaches a dance class that will not only work every muscle in your body, but will inspire you to learn all you can about Haitian culture. Her choreography is beautiful and varied and is always both mentally and physically challenging. She breaks down not only the movements she is teaching, but explains what the dance and its accompanying rhythm means and what you should be expressing while you dance." - E. Aviva
