Sony Laventure (wikotr)

After over 15 years of dedicated work in leading and fueling the Haitian Konpa Dance community with Konpa dance lessons, demonstrations, master classes, and virtual education…. we’ve established the first Haitian operated Konpa Dance Studio.

The founder of KOTR, Sony Laventure, traveled throughout different countries to sharpen his skills and knowledge of Haitian Konpa and it’s diverse dance styles via collaborations with professional konpa/zouk dancers from Brazil to Montreal, Haiti, Martinique, US, France, and Europe. After his studies at Santa Fe College and University of Florida in Gainesville, he officiially moved to Miami, FL in 2018 to obtain a property to operate KOTR’s headquarters.

By 2019, KOTR Dance Studio was legalized and had a physical address location. This was yet another milestone for our movement as this was the first Haitain Konpa Dance Studio since Konpa’s creation ( over 60 years agao ). While KOTR was not the first to teach Haitian Konpa as a style at a dance studio, KOTR Dance Studio was the first Haitian owned and Haitian operated studio to teach Konpa.

Tourists or visitors visiting Little Haiti in Miami are now able to visit our studio for a visual explanation and experience of Haitian Konpa. Whenever you’re in the area, visit us and experience our social dance lifestyle.
