Tister, with one foot rooted in the captivating world of traditional Congolese dance and percussion, and the other exploring modern dance styles, brings a wealth of expertise to the classroom. Growing up, dance and percussion were an integral part of his upbringing, as his parents immersed him in their ballet group rehearsals from a young age. At the age of 10, he joined the group and discovered his passion for dance and percussion, igniting a lifelong dedication to the art forms.
To deepen his knowledge, Tister embarked on a journey through Congo, studying the diverse dance and percussion styles of the country's 350 ethnic groups. This invaluable experience provided him with a deep well of traditional dance and rhythmic inspiration, which he draws upon to create dynamic and engaging dance classes.
During the African Congolese Dance Classes, Tister seamlessly blends traditional and modern elements, infusing the sessions with energy, creativity, and a touch of Congolese Rumba, a vibrant partner dance. But that's not all - he isn't afraid to incorporate (body) percussion, singing, and more, adding layers of excitement to the classes.
