Leo Walk: who is really the bankable dancer?

A springtime cultural event, its Première Ride show will be broadcast live from the Olympia on March 16 on Canal VOD. At 25, 259k subscribers on Insta and about as many projects per minute, Léo Walk is THE dancer who counts. We explain why.

I am young, I can still pull the rope, but I know that sooner or later the question of choice will arise. ”Namely: delegate .

Ouch… Easier said than done for an eternal perfectionist who takes pleasure in controlling every step of his projects… which is totally successful for him. “ I am charcoal for myself and for my brothers, but in five or ten years, we will be proud of us ... ”
