Practicing for my upcoming Pop Up 'Tout Se Pa' Workshop on September 20th. This dance is called "Zarenyen" meaning spider in Kreyòl. Key points to remember: stay low to the ground (to emulate the spider), keep your fingers and toes spread out like tentacles, and most importantly break on the "Kase"... I'll expound more upon that in class! I still have a lot of work to do which is why I'm laughing at myself in this video, but come experience a class and we can learn and laugh at ourselves together.
