Already acquainted with a large range of dancing techniques, he went on to attend, on a Ministère de la Culture scholarship, the Rosella Hightower school in Cannnes where he perfected his training. He was then awarded a Lavoisier scholarship from the Ministère des Affaires Étrangères to attend classes at the Alvin Ailey Dance Theater in New York. In 1991, he set up Compagnie Rêvolution with which he has since created , to name only a few, Amazones (2003), Soli (2005), Urban Ballet (2008), Clash ( 2009) and Rage (2012). In 2010, he wrote the dance piece Tetris for the Ballet de l'Opéra National de Bordeaux, and in 2011 he authored the show Middle for the Beijing Dance Theater. He has thus elected transformation as a means to question movement, piece after piece, by developping hybrid forms that take dance away from the trodden path of the conventional and the expected. He measures virtuosity against the infinitely small, what can be shown against what can be expressed. He has also been , since 2002, the manager of Compagnie Rêvolution Vocational Training Center for hip hop performers.
