Portsha Jefferson & Rara Tou Limen present: Konbit pou Ayiti - Working Together for Haiti: RETHINK, REBUILD, RESTORE!

Rara Tou Limen has incorporated our Kanaval 2010 theme into our choreography and overall visual presentation to show the community working together in solidarity as it's done in Ayiti as a 'konbit', a communal work gathering that includes harvesting, planting and cultivating the earth, as well as rebuilding the community. A true party, complete with a powerful theme, uplifting Kanaval songs and bright costumes, coupled with lively music and fantastic ENERGY! Workshop will focus on dance technique, choreography and original RTL theme song. All levels welcome!
