Stéphane originally started dancing salsa in 2008. He was soon noticed by Kizombalove academy and immediately began a four-year Teacher’s course program with José N’dongala, the dancer and instructor who introduced Kizomba to the Benelux region.
This training, based on the « José N’dongala Kizombalove methodology,” shaped his understanding and ability to teach Kizomba effectively.
He began teaching Kizomba in 2013, initially as an assistant and later as a full-fledged instructor.
Stéphane has also dedicated himself to learning and teaching Konpa, a vibrant and beautiful dance that originates from Haiti.
As a teacher, his primary focus has always been to ensure that his students can express themselves and have fun on the dance floor, while adhering to the cultural and technical values of Kizomba—specifically its emphasis on feeling, fluidity, and subtlety.
He firmly believes in the saying, “Learn the rules in an easy and enjoyable way, master the rules, then break the rules.”
