Willy & Lauriane

Willy and Lauriane (in official partnership since 2021) teach in Paris, but also at national and international festivals (Unified Dance Festival in Luxembourg, Afrolatin Festival in Albania, Bachakizz in Nottingham, and Bachata Fusion Festival in Zurich). Their dance style blends technique and influences from contemporary and urban styles while exploiting the flow of modern and Dominican bachatas. They focus primarily on musicality, connection, and social dancing. Note that they also dance salsa and kizomba.

A dancer since 2005, Willy was passionate about Latin dances before specializing in bachata in 2015. In search of perfection, he participates in numerous festivals and intensive courses to train with the best international dancers. In 2018, he decided to become a professional in order to share his passion with as many people as possible. His joy and infectious good humor are natural tools for sharing and teaching.

Lauriane began dancing in 2005 with modern jazz. She has also been a gymnast since a very young age (runner-up in the French championships in 2007). Lauriane continued her artistic training with contemporary dance in 2010. She discovered Latin dance in 2018 and very quickly became passionate about bachata. In September 2021, she joined the professional dance training program at the Neodance Academy.
