The Resurrection Dance Theater of Haiti, an internationally recognized dance troupe of orphans, former street children and child slaves in Haiti, will be performing in the U.S. from September 7 through October 3. Local performance schedules are available at www.heartswithhaiti.org. The troupe uses drumming and dance to vibrantly tell their story and lift up hearts, as they have done all over the United States and Canada, dancing in venues such as the Brooklyn Academy of Music for Dance Africa and for the Pope at World Youth Day in Canada.
About The St. Joseph Family of Haiti
The dancers are part of the St. Joseph Family, formed from very humble beginnings under the leadership of Michael Geilenfeld 25 years ago to bring street children from Port-au-Prince, Haiti into a family setting. The family now occupies three homes in Haiti – two for former street children and one for boys and girls with disabilities. Transformed from being the rejected ones in Haiti to being among the very best of servant-leaders, members of the St. Joseph Family have reached out and changed the lives of countless other Haitian boys and girls to be the best they can be.
On January 12, 2010, two of the three homes were severely damaged in the earthquake and are no longer habitable. Although their homes were lost and their lives changed irrevocably, these young dancers did not lose their determination to make a difference in the lives of others. They have sewn new costumes, repaired damaged drums and are now ready to dance the good news of their story once again.
Join Them!
We present this event as a testimony to the children and as a plea to help us lift up the St. Joseph Family from the rubble. Come join us in this dance of new life. Offer these young men your encouragement, your helping hands and your financial resources. By our raising up the St. Joseph Family to be better than before, we will also be raising up Haiti.
