I believe in power of the Universe and Destiny. That what happened to me when i went to my first class of Lindy hop by mistake. Before, I've being practising classic dance, tango and hip hop so at this moment i believed that "lindy" was a new wave of hip-hop. Anyway, from this moment my life was getting into dance.

With time I started to replace my teacher in Rennes, and with many travels, festivals, and my first tester of Blues in Herrang I've hear one blues legend saying me "You have to teach blues". With this, it has been 15 years since I became one of pioneer of blues scene in France.

Since 2007 I have has started to teach lindy-hop and blues in France and abroad - Spain, Belgium, Lithuania, Belarus. Two times with my partner Alina we organised a one-month "Blues trip" with classes around Russia. Together and separately we went in finals in several competitions and won some of them. Actually we are teaching together in school Dance Addict, that I created in 2014 in Rennes, France.

I believe that communication is the most important in dance. I've built my pedagogy on the idea of leading-following, staying inside the couple and sharing.

My passion to history and journey turned into several travels and researches of blues ethos. Actually i'm not only teaching, but also organising festivals and conferences, where i'm happy to share my knowledge about Blues and other swing dances.
