As JazzDayz Bamberg 2024 approaches, we are thrilled to introduce one of our standout instructors, Pasha Darouiche. Known for his unique style and vibrant energy, Pasha brings a wealth of experience to his signature Jazz Funk & Soul classes.
Where Do You See Your Strengths in Dancing and Teaching?
Pasha's strength lies in the passion and positive energy that radiates through his dancing. "I express all my feelings and emotions through dance and draw inspiration from everyday life. This is what I strive to teach my students, giving them a sense of self-love and compassion. Joy in dance is the most important thing," he explains.
What Got You into Dance, and Who or What Was Your Inspiration?
Coming from a musically inclined family, Pasha was immersed in the world of dance and music from a young age. "My father was a musician, and my mother was a professional ballet dancer. With four sisters and two brothers, music and dance have always been a part of my life. This, along with watching music videos and concerts on TV, inspired me greatly. Artists like Michael Jackson, Usher, Justin Timberlake, and Janet Jackson were huge influences," he shares.
What Is Your Favourite Style of Dance, and Would You Consider Learning a New Style?
"My favourite dance style is a blend of Hip Hop and Contemporary, which I really enjoy. I also love Afro and tap dance. I'm open to any dance style where I can feel the music," says Pasha. His openness to exploring different styles highlights his versatile approach to dance.
If You Could Give Your 18-Year-Old Self One Piece of Advice, What Would It Be?
Reflecting on his journey, Pasha advises his younger self: "Be open and grateful for everything that comes your way because everything is meant for you. Enjoy it fully and always do your best. Love everything and everyone with an open heart."
