Allô mon nom c'est Ivan. I'm truly obsess with dance and movement and how they can enhance one's livelihood. Apart from that I am a very curious person and I like taking risks. I'm a multifaceted artist and my long term dream is to be able to pursue and live off of my passions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend of mine recommended me to join the community as I'm avid traveller and I'm always on the move. I also really really do enjoy meeting new people and exchanging stories.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

Lots of Afrobeats, Latin music, Amapiano and Soulful rap in both French and English. I'm a dancer and lover of movement so anything that makes me move, makes me feel good :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've built, with the support of friends, a social enterprise that makes people feel "at home" by creating physical and digital spaces where they truly feel seem and welcomed

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach dance! I'm an Afro Fusion Dance instructor and my workshops focus more on teaching about people enjoying their own "body & movement" rather than always "copying and mimicking"

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer a private dance class, help with your French if you are learning the language or even do grocery runs for you if needed. I'm flexible and I'm willing to help where I can!

Countries I’ve Visited
