How did you get into dancing?
That’s a simple but yet difficult question. I was first introduced to social parties by an old friend of mine Cecilia in Paris, and after met a few friends of Patrick Toffa and Cymeone Mopao and it just evolved from there.
What projects are you currently working on?
I’m currently working on my Semba training project with my team / dance partner Fabricio, 4 sessions of Semba, where we talk about the dance, music and history within the purpose of spreading knowledge and awareness.
What’s been the most memorable moment of your journey as a dancer so far?
Simple but yet difficult question to answer once again as I’ve had many to be quite honest, but to mention one, I think it is the moment I realised through dance I was able to reach many soul, empower and motivate people around the dance community in many different ways.
What advice would you give to up & coming dancers looking at you for inspiration?
For that I will share my quote with you…
What can we expect from you for the rest of 2018?
