Who is Byshara Shokolate?

Of Comorian and Malagasy origin, Byshara entered dance through hip-hop at the age of 12, she was part of many companies such as "Dans la rue la danse", and worked with many national and international choreographers. Within "Dans la rue la Danse" she was able to refine her training with classes in classical dance, modern jazz, tap and "African" dance, thanks to Frédéric Tribalat (director of Dans la rue la Danse) who took Byshara under "his wing" from an early age and who believed that a good dancer should know how to dance everything. Her encounter with the traditional dances of West Africa will upset her plans and she decides to go to 3 countries to deepen her training. She will start with Senegal, then continuing to Mali where she will work with the “Ballet District of Bamako” alongside Mimi KONE and Makan KONE, she will continue her apprenticeship in Guinea with the “Ballet de Matam”. But she is also a dancer for great Artists such as the Choreographer Georges Momboye, in Austria as part of the launch of the "Afrika Afrika" Show, for the Djembéfola "Samban Seny Touré", former soloist of the "Ballets Africains", or even in Dance Hall for Reggae artist “Mista Aya”.
