She repeated this achievement three years later in the highest category of this discipline. At 18 years of age, Maeva left her hometown and her own hairdressing business to teach in Paris at one of the most prestigious dance schools with her partner. Subsequently, she joined the musical comedy troop, L’enfer d’Euridice, which produced several shows at La Cigale in Paris. Maeva continues her training with several choreographers with whom she has acquired numerous competencies in dance, teaching and theatre.

For four years now, she has traveled the world to teach Boogie Woogie in international workshops. She is now much more oriented towards the world of Swing in general.

With a strong character and great charm, Maeva is determined to succeed in this artistic domain.
