The mission of BTC is to educate and entertain through art as way of life. Promoting respect for ones self and others while creating a firm foundation of cultural history by means of art as a universal language.  BTC produces a positive, productive and respectful way of expression that encourages confidence amongst all.  She is also an alumni member of Roots Uprising, a modern performing company directed by well-known choreographer and teacher Nailah Bellinger and danced for several years with Arc-en-ciel Dance Troupe, a Haitian Folkloric performing company.
