Actually, I studied Aeronautics Engineering, but I also attended Modern Jazz Dance lessons taught next door… a canal separated our campuses.
It’s only when I returned from Canada, that I started to practice Country Dance. And finally, it’s only recently, since I joined Michele and Bruce Wilkerson’s dance club, that I’m remembering my penchant for writing step sheets and exploring new ways of expression.
I love Country Music, Jazz and Argentine Tango.
After a very Latino afternoon, I realized that Bossa Nova is obviously syncretizing many North and South American rhythms. Bossa nova has flavors of both jazz and tango, although it’s close connections with samba. It is why I’ve launched: “Bossa Nova Way” on my site.
The objective is to elaborate and propose country steps adapted to Bossa Nova.
Jean LW LeQUEUX has choreographed 20 dances, of which none have been co-choreographed. Their first published stepsheet on CopperKnob is Frightful Honky Tonk Halloween from November 2014, with their most recent stepsheet of Cheyenne Train in October 2022.
