He is an innovator by his singular approach of the dance that he manages to create by mixing different universes. It is recognized for example to practice the Full effect, based on the illusion of a body moving around on the ground weightlessly, with delicacy, fluidity, and precision.
In 2006 and 2007, he worked with the Beijing Circus and at the National Ballet of Florence.
In 2012, he collaborated with Andrés Marín and Kader Attou in the creation of Yatra as part of the Biennale d’art Flamenco at Chaillot.

He puts his dance into play according to his personal history, according to the places he passes through, multiplying his capacity for interpretation according to the choreographies. His elegant dance, spiced with virtuosity, questions mentalities and cultures, in search of universal movement. All this enrichment has made him a polymorphic, hybrid dancer, passing from one touch to another in search of a new aestheticism.
