Dansalou, for dance and Yanvalou, is a dance school founded two years ago by Séphora Drouillard, then only 19 years old.
Through this school, the professional dancer wants to revolutionize the dance sector in Haiti.
The least we can say is that the young woman is off to a good start.

Dance to amaze, but also to change. To transform. And even protest. Dance to assert yourself, to seek your identity. To tell his story to the world. This is the bet that Séphora Drouillard made two years ago. The young woman, then aged 19, founded Dansalou, a dance school that made one of her childhood dreams come true.
It is in the street that the young woman unearthed her first dancers, as if to remind that the pearls are sometimes where one did not expect them. Today, his school has more than fifty people who learn to tell their life story with steps of folklore, contemporary dances, hip-hop, afro or kizomba. For Zipporah, dance can be an instrument in the fight against injustice and social inequalities. Dance brings life. In these times of crisis redoubled by the passage of a deadly earthquake, dance can be hope, a shuttle to escape painful moments. The dance can be a brush to draw to the rhythm of his body his little world of peace.
