Remy KouaDJo
SOLO JAZZ – LINDY HOP – PERFORMANCE TRACK
Remy approaches Swing dances in a particular way, in that he combines both authenticity and respect for traditions – which he received from the hands of pioneers – and originality and creativity inspired by his experiences in other forms of dance.
What he loves to share the most is the joy that dancing provides, as well as helping people find their unique voices.
His teaching, dancing and performing are very tainted by what he believes at the moment and can be changed from one month to another as he is not afraid of “thinking differently than the day before”!
