Remy has been surrounded by music and dance his entire life. He grew up in the hip-hop culture as a DJ, and built his dance specialization within the swing dance community. He travels all over the world to perform, teach, or compete in solo jazz and Lindy Hop.
He loves sharing his dance with others and helping people discover their unique style within themselves. In recent years, Remy has felt the need to realign with himself and connect all the aspects that make him the artist he is.
He believes there is a need to strengthen or recreate the bridge between vintage and modern street dance
