They call me " The Talking Feet Of Paris ". I've learned my tap dancing with some of the greatest american teachers :

Bob Audy - protégé of the famous Paul Draper. with Bob I learned to be light on my feet and elegant. His "concert-tap" - a mixture of clever tap-combinations and elements of classical dance was just sensationel ! His technical and rhythmical combinations fill a large book I still love to open.

Henry LeTang - choreographer of the revue "Black And Blue" and the films "Cotton Club" and "Tap", as well as teacher of Gregory Hines and Savion Glover. Henry's style brings together the best elements of black showbusiness of the golden years of tap dancing : hot jazzr-rhythms and fantastic combinations retracing the styles of some of the best black dancers. With Henry I started out learning his famous 20 routines. In many, many privates he created  21 great routines for me, amongst them a fabulous version of the Stair-Dance, the routine that made Bill 'Bojangles' Robinson famous.

Chuck Green - an inspiration and a wonderful man. I invited him for a european tour - his last. He knew he was at the end of his life and wanted to take care of giving me all he knew about tap. He  taught me his stage routines "Caravan" and "Take The A Train" and his repertory of John Bubbles, his mentor. Often after midnight or in the hall of any airport I had to learn new combinations, Chuck's personal souvenirs of all the tapping people he had witnessed since he was a child : an incredible collection of styles and techniques !

Eddie Brown gave me his fantastic Rhythm-Tap. With him I learned his famous "B.S.Chorus", quite some other routines and an incredible amount of interesting Rhythm-combinations.

Honi Coles & The Copasetics, Danny Daniels, Buster Brown with these dancers I learned a lot in many workshops : each one had his unique style and contributed to my understanding of the tap culture.

Leon Collins : with several assistants I worked on his  4 Routines to "Aint Misbehavin" as well as a good dozen of other choreographies. I just love his sophisticated Rhythm-Tap !

Through many years of researching tap styles and techniques I gradually became a  reference as to classical tap-dancing.

In my tap classes I play the piano for my students.

As a guest teacher I've been around for the past twenty years - all over Europe ! As a "teacher's teacher" I try to help to get the next generation of dancers and teachers ready to move on.
