ARTISTS
ANGELIQUE LARQUE
Trained in academic dances at the CC James Carlès, Angie crosses styles with various companies, cabarets and musicals. She travels to train in African, Aboriginal, Afro-Cuban, hip hop, body percussion dances and discovers the world of swing that will never leave her. With her stage experience, she created her company in 2014: the FUNKY SWING DANCERS. She develops her own jazz feeling there by integrating all her influences but also theater, which leads her to choreograph on the shows of several great orchestras (Glenn Orchestral - A Night In New Orleans - Cotton Club Legend...). Pedagogue, it transmits its values to both professionals and amateurs, and organizes monthly open-air public balls. Creativity, flow and musicality are her key words, she makes you swing dance your way thanks to tools and methods. Co-organizer of the WGTB course, you will find her in 2 distinct but complementary disciplines: Lindy Hop and Body Rhythm!
CLAUDE GOMIS
Originally from Senegal, Claude grew up in dance, whether traditional (Sabar, Mbalakh...), Afro-American (hip-hop, break dance, afro-house, krump, new style ...), Afro-urban (ndombolo , offbeat cut, jazzy, kuduro, pantsula…), or as a couple (Cuban salsa, kizomba, lindy hop), he continues to incorporate as many styles as possible, all from the African diaspora.
He trained professionally at Germaine Acogny's Ecole des Sables and joined the companies Jant-Bi (Senegal), Don't Hit Mama (Holland), Robyn Orlin (South Africa) and Funky Swing Dancers (France) with which he made an international career as a dancer/performer.
Due to his taste for sharing, he is now working to pass on his skills in teaching. "WAWAW" is his brand and slogan, it means "yes yes" in Wolof because Claude always remains positive!!
