Haitian Dance has been an expression of traditional African way of life since African peoples were taken from various nations, enslaved and brought to the Caribbean Island Ayiti, during the colonial period. To this day, Haitian people remain true to their roots in the Dahomey region and Congo where many of their ancestors originated practicing rituals and cultural traditions through dance, music, religion and everyday life.

Afro-Haitian dance has greatly influenced the world of modern dance since Katherine Dunham traveled to Haiti to research traditional dance an the country's rich culture in the 1940's.
