![]() Six years later, Mervil began a new partnership with Amandine. In the city of Brest, with fellow dance friends and his ex Kizomba partner Laetycia, he created the Breizh Kizomba society in 2010 and gave his first class in September 2011. Upon falling for Kizomba, he attended many workshops of famous dancers such as Kwenda Lima, Ricardo & Paula (Afro latine connection) Isabelle & Félicien, Georges Bitaud, Morenasso & Anais or even An’so & Jazzy Cubango. It is the modern touch of ‘African Tango*’ and its room for creativity that drew Mervil to this dance, with, ever since his first steps as a beginner, the desire to teach it one day. The beauty and the bliss of tango seduced him but when in 2009 he was introduced to Kizomba, it became obvious to him that he was going to be a Kizombeiro. ![]() In 2008 he discovered couple dances such as Tango, Paso Doble and Salsa. Mervil first set foot in the world of dancing with Hip-hop, which he practiced for 5 years in the Paris Region. Mervil: perfectionist, courteous and stylish. In January 2019, the 1st Edition of their Kizomba Elegance Festival will be held in Nantes, in the hub of the city’s nightlife: ‘le quai des Antilles’. Mervil and Amandine are in demand for many festivals across France and Europe, where their workshops and boot camps surely make an impression. At the Kizomba Elegance Academy, the school they opened in Nantes, they impart their students a comprehensive knowledge of body mechanics applied to dancing, the art of acquiring a gracious bearing on the dancefloor or even kizomba etiquette. Kizomba teachers from Western France, Mervil and Amandine are credited for their precise and elegant dancing style, which they pass on with an articulate teaching method.
