Joao Assuncao

I decided to move to Sweden in 2006 and started teaching at Marikas and later on started working with Bounce. Trough my dancing I've been blessed with the possibility of traveling around Europe teaching and performing in various shows and events.

Vad lär man sig på dina klasser?

In my classes I try to pass on to the students what I’m feeling with the music. Every choreography I teach in class is a reflection of the track I pick, and/or a mood that I pick to work on for that class. I try to choreograph something new every class so I can amplify the music hearing/moving ability in the students.

Vad tycker du är viktiga egenskaper hos en dansare?

Dedication, training, the ability to create and to evolve and work for your talent because it doesn't just fall out of the trees.

Vad gör din stil unik?

What makes my style unique is the fact that i took class with so many people and every time i travel I try to look into the dance scene of the place where I go, so I can bring something new back home to class.

Vad inspirerar dig?

My inspiration comes from music (I'm a music junkie) and traveling. Music can make my body twich and move like nothing else. I get inspired with everything around me (a conversation, something I see on the street or on tv…) but i think that all my music and my traveling around helps to inspire all of my movement for class.
