    About Me

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    Dancer and dance teacher in Toulouse at Âm Métis, a dance school she created, Valérie has been teaching dance with passion for more than 10 years. Having grown up in Niger and Ivory Coast, then lived in France, Senegal and Mali, her dance career is mixed.

    Education

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    Trained in classical, modern-jazz and hip-hop dances from childhood, she discovered contemporary dance and African dances in Paris and deepened them for nearly 3 years with the National Ballets of Senegal and Mali, as well as in the villages of the Lebou and Khassonké ethnic groups.

    Valérie encountered Cuban and Afro-Cuban dances with Gregorio Hernandez, known as "El Goyo", founding member of the Conjunto Folclorico Nacional de Cuba, and later developed them with Yeni Molinet, dancer of the Conjunto Folclorico Nacional de Cuba, as well as in numerous masterclasses.

    Music being for her inseparable from dance in order to experience and understand it, she also learned to play certain instruments related to the dances she practised: classical and jazz piano, congas, sabar, and dundun (Cuban and African percussion).

    Experience / Qualifications

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    Through her musical and dance career, Valérie is particularly interested in the African roots of dances, as well as the energy and joy they convey.
    Her complete training allows her to approach the dances she teaches with authenticity, musicality, a precise analysis of the placement of the body, and a pedagogical approach adapted to each one. But what drives her above all is to create bridges between cultures, through dance.

    Ciar
    Contemporary Dance Class and Tutoring - Intermediate / Advanced
    Ciar is a recent graduate of Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance; a versatile queer dance artist freelancing in London with a background in Hip-Hop, Circus Arts, Classical Ballet and Contemporary dance. I hope to offer everyone an exciting and enjoyable time whilst pushing thier physical capabilities. Dance should be fun! My class explores a choreographic style of contemporary dance with clear influences from Cunningham technique and my recent expirience working with Jason Mabana. The work will challenge your coordination, rhythm, attention to detail and demostrate a contemporary application of classical teachnical forms, but all through explorative and original material. The class is structured like any other technical class, each exercise desinged to methodicaly warm up and work the body, building on the previous exercises, before culminating in a longer choreography where we can pull everything together and just have a boogie. I can tailor the work to each student however I would reccomend having some technical expirience, classical or contemporary.

    Nicholas
    Private Dance Tutoring - Contemporary Dance / Ballet
    After training in Ballet & Contemporary at Rambert School, I danced professionally for over a decade with companies such as Richard Alston Dance Company, National Dance Company Wales and Michael Clark Company. I can teach and coach on a range of contemporary dance styles, choreography and performance and audition skills. We will improve strength & flexibility, improve coordination and develop technique. I primarily danced with Cunningham technique but have good experience of other techniques such as Graham, release and Gaga. As a qualified physiotherapist, I can also teach about the anatomy of a dancer and how to look after the body and overcome injury. I look forward to supporting younger students to enjoy dance whilst also developing their technique, musicality and dance proficiency.
