Joel House

BACKGROUND
It was back in 2008 when Joel started dancing. He was quite young so it was normal for him to practice different styles. He started with  Breakdance, hiphop, house , locking, popping and also waacking. He had teachers like Roche Apinsa, Daniel lewis and under the guidance of these people he got to see a lot of battles and followed some workshops. This formed him as a person and  dancer.  Roche & Nevanio Herkun really played a big role in this journey and they are also a big inspiration. 

He was 14 when he entered the House Dance Forever event in Paradiso for the first time and that showed him that he wanted to become an international house dancer and an inspiration to others. And made It his goal to once upon a time win this event.

COMMUNITY
Through the years he also linked himself to different crews like  Xgen, Ghetto funk Collective and Perdu Dans La Sauce. (PDLS) The house community is important to Joel, because they make him grow and welcome to be himself.  When he is together with other house dancers he always feels a connection even though they don’t even know each other. It is a social community who welcome everybody from different levels, ages and races. It is amazing to meet new people and learn from each other and exchange knowledge. Joel wants to teach more and more because the house community is very small and it should grow again. The community did a lot for him and he wants to give back in this way.
