HOW IT ALL BEGAN
Dawou Tarraxo
Since 2019, Dawou has been an integral part of the 'Vivez Votre Kizomba' (VVK) taxi dancer team, founded by Gwany. His role within the team extends beyond participation to crucial responsibilities in organization and management. His tenure with VVK has been marked by a significant enhancement of his dancing skills and the establishment of a strong foundational knowledge in dance.
In his journey, Dawou received invaluable guidance and mentorship from Gwany and Liliana de Lima, who played a pivotal role in advancing his understanding and skill in Kizomba, especially in the Tarraxa and Tarraxo styles. Their support was instrumental in Dawou's development as a dancer, enabling him to reach new heights of proficiency.
Traveling globally with the team, Dawou's commitment and practice elevated his dancing to a highly skilled level, preparing him for a future in teaching. His active participation in various festivals and workshops, and his involvement in private teaching sessions, have significantly contributed to the evolution of Tarraxo, a dance that embodies the deep rhythms of the earth.
Between 2021 and 2023, Dawou assisted Gwany in the creation of the Tarraxo School in Paris and London, teaching on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, respectively. His weekends were dedicated to teaching at festivals, a commitment he continues to uphold. This involvement has been crucial in spreading the Tarraxo dance style and enriching its global presence.
Dawou's experiences reflect the rich cultural diversity of each country he visits, with each festival showcasing unique dancing styles and each setting requiring a distinct approach. His work in the Tarraxo Movement, in which he has been a key figure in its propagation, showcases a unique fusion of energy that is both intense and profound. Dance, in this context, becomes a medium for expressing emotions and thoughts beyond the capacity of words.
As a certified Tarraxo Teacher since October 2020, Dawou stands as a prominent ambassador of this dynamic dance form, continuously promoting its cultural significance and richness.
✨ Global Tarraxo Festival - 10th Anniversary ✨
It’s always an honor and an immense pride to share my passion for Tarraxo with such amazing students. Teaching at the Global Tarraxo Festival, surrounded by such vibrant energy, is an experience beyond words. 💃🏾🕺🏾
Every step, every movement, every connection with my students reminds me why I chose this path. Tarraxo is not just a dance; it’s an emotion, a unique vibration that unites people from all over the world. 🌍
A huge thank you to everyone who made this event unforgettable. Let’s keep growing this community and dancing with our hearts. ❤️🔥

Captured at the edge of paradise 🌅✨, where the sun kisses the horizon and the waves whisper our dance.
Every step we take is a reflection of our connection, flowing with the rhythm of the sea. Moments like these remind us that life is about creating memories, and that night, we had danced with the sunset.

These past weeks have been some of the hardest in my life. When you find out someone close to you is fighting between life and death, it hits you just how fragile life really is. Everything stops in an instant. That’s my mood right now… 🖤 Taking a step back, pausing to reflect, and questioning what truly matters in my life. 🙏🏼💭

The photos from Kiz Island festival in Koh Phangan 📸🌴 bring back unforgettable memories…
Every moment there was filled with emotion, dance, and incredible connections.
It’s the kind of experience that leaves a deep mark, makes you feel alive, and stays with you forever ✨💖.
I’m already looking forward to reliving that magic next year 🙏🏽❤️.
