Haitian dance has its roots in Africa, particularly in regions such as the Congo and Angola. During the transatlantic slave trade, many Africans were brought to Haiti, where their dance traditions were merged with the French colonial culture. Over time, Haitian dance developed into a unique art form that incorporates elements of African, French, and other Caribbean dance styles. Today, Haitian dance continues to evolve and adapt, reflecting the changing social, political, and cultural context of Haiti.
