Biography

Before I started dancing, I was the kind of man who always sat during the holidays, the kind of person we always had to drag by the arm on the track. So I was the one who "didn't like" to dance, thinking that it was only an activity reserved for women!

 

Being a person wanting to touch everything, try everything, do everything, and after having exhausted all the activities (achievable) that one could offer me in my hometown (Strasbourg), I started to look for something new, and it was there that I saw that the university in which I was offering dance lessons, almost free of charge. So I started with a friend, it was September 2013. My first class was Argentine Tango on Wednesday evening, then Cuban Salsa on Thursday noon, and finally the ballroom dances on Friday noon. At that time, I discovered a new passion. In the end I joined several schools and groups of dancers, and therefore, in addition to my university lessons, I therefore had 13 hours of dance lessons per week: Cuban Salsa, Argentina Tango, West Coast Swing, Lindy hop / Charleston, ballroom dances (Rock and roll, Slow waltz, Viennese waltz, Bolero / Rumba, Chachacha, Slow fox, Foxtrot, Paso Doble, Ballroom tango, Puerto Rican Salsa, Samba), as well as some European folk dances. To this, add the daily practices in the bars and clubs of the city.

 

At the end of my studies in Finance, a life of office worker did not really interest me, I decided to leave my native land, to go to that of my father: Mauritius. At that time, the dance evenings were very few, and the dance classes included only salsa, bachata and Kizomba.

 

No school offering courses of intermediate level and even less advanced, I could not find my happiness, I thus resolved to stop learning. Over the course of events, many asked me to open my school and to teach, I refused at first, but a year after my arrival, I finally decided to open my school! This allowed me to develop my pedagogy and to really understand dances better. To progress, I traveled and spent all the money earned in training, private lessons and festivals.


Today (May 2020), I decide to leave Mauritius, because too limited by its limits, I no longer flourish, I am thinking about a new project, and here is SBK Globetrotter coming to my mind! I then let a team take up the torch from my school who will share the values I was looking to transmit.

 

Let's go for a new adventure in 2021!
