Jean Appolon Expressions (JAE) is a Haitian folkloric and contemporary-infused dance organization that cultivates hope and healing to foster more expressive and socially just communities through professional performances, education, cultural experiences and the celebration of the joy of movement for all.
On Saturday January 11th, 2025 from 1:30-3:00pm ET JAE's weekly Haitian Folkloric dance and drum class will be dedicated to Haiti and our Haitian community members far and wide. January 12th will be the 15th anniversary of the devastating 2010 earthquake that struck Port Au Prince, Haiti, Appolon's home city. We will come together in dance, music and community to celebrate this beautiful nation.
For over 20 years, Jean has taught this weekly class in Cambridge, MA with 30-100 people of all ages and abilities in attendance, attracted by the extraordinary healing and liberating power of Haitian-folkloric dance and his mission to advance a socially just world. Community members can join in person at The Dance Complex in Cambridge, MA or virtually via zoom. Both options are available for registration at the link provided.
