Pacôme Coulibaly & Verena

Pacôme started his journey through movement with modern jazz and capoeira. He got addicted to dance and tried to take classes of every dance style he could. He traveled a lot in America (the whole continent) and Europe to take dance classes with the best teachers he could find (Tony McGregor for house, Luca Condro for flying low, Bernard Estrabaud for modern, Pablo Etcheveri for tango, and many more).
He also got interested in Pilates, posturology and AFCMD (functional and corporal analysis of dance movement) to master his body and understand how it works.

Later Pacôme started to train in circus space for acro dance research and saw people doing L-basing and it looked fun. He went to a convention (Xtrem Convention in Antwerpen) where he did his first h2h. It was then when he decided to dedicate himself to acro.
Since then he took around 1000+ hours of acro classes with many renowned teachers (Wybren, Acro Bart, Scott and Michaela and others). He stopped working in regular jobs to go full time with the circus. He also took a 2000h formation on pedagogy specialised in circus arts and acro.
Now he is giving local workshops and works with professional artists to create original acro material for their act and works in the CRAC circus school in Lomme as a circus teacher.

His language of the body, awareness about posturology and biomechanics, his dancing background and the shit loads of acro are the things he wants to share because his passion is to help people and make them happy!
