HOW IT ALL BEGAN
Dawou Tarraxo
Since 2019, Dawou has been an integral part of the 'Vivez Votre Kizomba' (VVK) taxi dancer team, founded by Gwany. His role within the team extends beyond participation to crucial responsibilities in organization and management. His tenure with VVK has been marked by a significant enhancement of his dancing skills and the establishment of a strong foundational knowledge in dance.
In his journey, Dawou received invaluable guidance and mentorship from Gwany and Liliana de Lima, who played a pivotal role in advancing his understanding and skill in Kizomba, especially in the Tarraxa and Tarraxo styles. Their support was instrumental in Dawou's development as a dancer, enabling him to reach new heights of proficiency.
Traveling globally with the team, Dawou's commitment and practice elevated his dancing to a highly skilled level, preparing him for a future in teaching. His active participation in various festivals and workshops, and his involvement in private teaching sessions, have significantly contributed to the evolution of Tarraxo, a dance that embodies the deep rhythms of the earth.
Between 2021 and 2023, Dawou assisted Gwany in the creation of the Tarraxo School in Paris and London, teaching on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, respectively. His weekends were dedicated to teaching at festivals, a commitment he continues to uphold. This involvement has been crucial in spreading the Tarraxo dance style and enriching its global presence.
Dawou's experiences reflect the rich cultural diversity of each country he visits, with each festival showcasing unique dancing styles and each setting requiring a distinct approach. His work in the Tarraxo Movement, in which he has been a key figure in its propagation, showcases a unique fusion of energy that is both intense and profound. Dance, in this context, becomes a medium for expressing emotions and thoughts beyond the capacity of words.
As a certified Tarraxo Teacher since October 2020, Dawou stands as a prominent ambassador of this dynamic dance form, continuously promoting its cultural significance and richness.
