A fan of battles and the rage that comes out of them, he finds gentleness in creation, two aspects of dance that for him are complementary.

Like many dancers, Razy Essid learned hip hop on his own. Seduced by acrobatics from an early age, he soon developed a passion for technical floor figures and break dancing. With a dozen friends, he formed the Crevard Crew, with whom he took part in numerous battles all over France.

Then, in 2017, he won the gold medal in the hip hop dance category at the Jeux de la Francophonie in Abidjan.

A few years later, he met a Capoeira troupe in Bordeaux, Cordao de Ouro. For two years, he benefited from quality teaching and a fraternity that made him understand the importance of others, of companions, of structures both physical and moral.
It was during a year’s adventure on a tour of Western Europe that he discovered the pleasure of performing, spreading his ideas and passions, and sharing himself through street shows. It was then that he decided to make a career out of it. Thomas enrolled at the Bordeaux circus school, followed by the École nationale des arts du cirque de Rosny-sous-Bois (Enacr) and the Centre national des arts du cirque de Châlons-en-Champagne (Cnac). He specialises in what might be called ‘Acro-Movement’, which focuses primarily on the body as the sole tool, accompanied by a set design that serves the artistic proposition. Her aim? To hone his skills in movement and writing, and to be able to combine the two practices to create a harmonious whole.

Trained by the Phase T group, which won two French Bboying Champion titles and one World Vice-Champion title, competition has been an integral part of his development.
Eddy then sought to open up to other styles by joining the Académie Internationale de la Danse. This training gave him an open mind and a wealth of knowledge, but it was choreographer Olivier Le François who gave him his understanding of the artistic side of dance. After a 2-year training period under his tutelage and as an outsider on his piece ‘Qu’en sera-t-il d’hier’, he was able to put his technical skills at the service of the artistic by trying to have the most personal approach possible. This has enabled him to work with various companies such as José Montalvo, La Cie Käfig, George Momboye, Farid O and Khady Fofana, as well as developing more personal projects.
Today, he tends to continue the teaching he has received while continuing to train with other choreographers and to go beyond his limits with competition.
