In love with Africa, he left for Benin to two years of intensive training. He meets there Etienne Cakpo with whom he works in close collaboration which will turn into a lasting friendship giving birth years later to different choreographic creations.
It thus develops serious bases in Beninese traditional dances which he will complete later with Aisha Diallo (guinea), Irène Tassembedo (Burkina-fasso) and Kathy Manyongo (Afrojazz).
Currently, he is evolving in the contemporary dance company “Exocet” by Natacha Riboud (France).
