THE BOARD

ROSA

President | rosa@knowedgeasbl.com

I started dancing at 12 at the Conservatoire in Luxembourg and continued my training at EPSE Danse. Early on, I realized dance was more than a passion, it’s a way to share, connect, and inspire.

After my studies, I headed to London, dancing for various artists and performing in the opera Carmen in Salzburg, an unforgettable, inspiring experience.

Since then, I’ve taught and danced around the world: New Zealand, England, Canada, Switzerland, and Luxembourg.

I teach contemporary-jazz, waacking, and heels, and I love exploring styles that make me come alive.

Big love for the hustle, and a serious passion for waacking battles: the energy, the party, the sparkle… it’s pure magic!

ETIENNE aka GAMBIT

Treasurer | gravity.defiant.lu@gmail.com

I started my dance journey in 2009 in Dallas, Texas, immersing myself in street styles like Breaking, Animation, and Hip Hop. I soon realized that dance is a universal language of connection and resilience.

From 2014 to 2019, I served in the U.S. Marine Corps, a period that profoundly influenced my growth. While stationed abroad, I engaged with dance communities in Honduras, Guatemala, Ghana, Pakistan, and across Europe, teaching and performing worldwide.

Now based in Luxembourg, I share my craft through breaking classes that emphasize strength, creativity, and discipline, aiming to cultivate a supportive urban dance community. I am dedicated to pushing boundaries and uplifting others through the movement and philosophy of hip hop culture.

My mission is to inspire dancers of all backgrounds while promoting the artistic and cultural value of street dance.

ZENY

Secretary | lopes.azenildo@outlook.com

I was introduced to hip hop culture during my childhood. I have been participating in it ever since as a dancer and DJ throughout the years.

I want to uplift and support this culture as well as the community representing it.

ACTIVE MEMBERS

LEYTI

Started dancing at 4. Living room stage. Barbie Girl on full volume. Family audience. Zero shame. Full show.

If you’ve ever turned your house into a concert hall — we’re the same

12 years of Jazz later, I stepped into the underground scene at 16 with a breakdance/hip-hop crew at Hamilius Underground in Luxembourg. Battles and cyphers raised me.

National and international workshops took me through house, commercial hip-hop, popping, heels… But waacking? Immediate obsession.

Learning from some of the best worldwide, waacking made me travel, train, connect, and dive deep into its roots, soul, and culture — bringing that energy back and growing it in Luxembourg.

Freestyler at heart. Choreo lover (timing and I sometimes freestyle together).

Cat fanatic. Big energy. Bigger expression.

Take space. Be bold. Add sparkle.

NORAH

I am a versatile dancer, choreographer, and teacher based in Luxembourg, with a practice rooted in street styles—specifically Hip Hop and House. I love combining freestyle and musicality with storytelling, often exploring the dialogue between urban dance, theatrical performance, and concept-driven video work.

As a freelance artist, I’ve had the opportunity to perform in theaters like the Grand Théâtre de Luxembourg and with Trois C-L, as well as in museums and at international events like Breakin’ Convention in the UK. Alongside my stage work, I develop my own concept-based performances, such as The In Between and Embodied Sculptures. I also contribute to movement direction and commercial productions for TV and events like the Trounwiessel.

Beyond performing, I am committed to passing on Hip Hop culture through workshops, classes, and creative projects like Fluency and LUGA. I want to help dancers grow artistically and find their own individuality while remaining deeply connected to the foundations of the culture.

ALICIA

My mission is to bring people together and foster their curiosity, confidence, technique, and love for dance. I wish to create connections through movement and storytelling, ensuring that dance remains a shared experience for everyone.

Together with Art in Motion ASBL and KnowEdge ASBL I work on educational and social projects in collaboration with national public and private institutions. I also teach regularly in several dance schools, aiming to uplift the community and share the artistic and cultural value of dance.

I just love dance and I am happy to be part of such a team!

BENOÎT

My dance is rooted in mime, B-boying, and popping. I built my practice through self-directed training and collaborations, realizing early on that dance is about continuous learning. I still make it a point to grow by attending international workshops like Camping at the French National Dance Center.

I’ve been involved in projects ranging from documentary theatre at Les Rotondes to community-based dance programs like Temple and Young Movers. I also founded KnowEdge ASBL to create a space for exchange through workshops, conferences, and battles. One of my proudest moments was developing Patchwork—the first hip hop dance piece in Luxembourg—to help our culture get the recognition it deserves in theaters and institutions.

My mission is to strengthen the recognition of hip hop through workshops, battles, and cultural events.

FRANKLIN

I am a physical education teacher by profession, but I am also a seasoned dancer. One of the highlights of my journey was representing Luxembourg at the Juste Debout finals in Paris-Bercy, competing in my favorite category, House dance.

Throughout my career, I’ve been heavily involved in pedagogical projects within schools and associations. I’ve always felt that dance is a powerful tool for education, and I use these projects to share my life experiences and promote the values of hip hop culture.

I focus on House dance and the educational side of movement. I love the challenge of the competitive stage, but I am equally passionate about the work I do in the community to help the next generation find their footing in this culture.

My mission is to share my experience and promote hip hop culture through educational and social projects. Whether I’m in a classroom or a dance circle, I’m dedicated to uplifting others through movement.

REMI

I am the former secretary of Knowedge asbl from 2019 to 2024. I joined the association as soon as I arrived in Luxembourg in 2019, quickly getting involved as member of the board and projet leader in the organization of artistic events : workshops, battles and jams.

My goal has always been to bring my experience to the local scene and create opportunities for dancers to connect and grow together. I am also a dancer and DJ from Paris.
