Gouyad 100 Complexe Vol. 2 by DJ Tyson, Mc Tzwazo

Dancing should be a fun and freeing experience. An opportunity to connect with yourself, a dance partner or community.

I started konpa dance to connect with my culture and my people. I decided to invest my time, energy and dollars into my people. There were so many other dance spaces that I could have joined but I chose to support Haitians. I also frequented Haitian community events that promoted our arts and culture.

When you love yourself, you love your people. When you invest in yourself, you invest in your people. You're generous in spirit. Unfortunately, the people you're seeking to connect and build community with aren't always people with good intentions. Therefore, it's important to be mindful of the spaces you enter. Not all spaces are sacred and for you. Know when to gracefully exit. When you exit, you claim your time, energy and dollars back and pour it back into yourself. You learn that not everyone is worthy of your kindness and generosity. Some people only know how to take, steal, cheat and do insidious things behind closed doors. When you keep supporting their poor behaviors, you block your own blessings and allow them to keep taking from you. Let them be who they are, withdraw your support and keep moving. You can dance anywhere 💃🏾 And at the end of the dance, I had so much fun and no regrets. I enjoyed myself no matter what others were doing.
