Originally from Lyon, Johnson has been passionate about urban dance and actively involved in hip-hop culture for more than 20 years. Specialised in breaking, he built his path within the “Opéra generation” alongside Oto10Dact Crew, a formative experience that allowed him to develop his artistic identity and gradually establish himself on national and international stages.
Over the years, Johnson has taken part in numerous battles, both with crews and solo, with recognised expertise in the art of toprock. His talent, creativity and authenticity have enabled him to win several competitions and represent his style in many cities and countries, helping to bring greater visibility to his artistic universe.
An experienced teacher, he has been teaching breaking for more than 10 years. Through his guidance, he helps dancers develop their potential, build confidence and reach their artistic, athletic and personal goals.
Driven by a desire to keep hip-hop culture alive and moving forward, Johnson is also the creator of Can You Rock, a battle organised in partnership with the Street Off collective and Pôle en Scènes. Over more than nine years, the event has become a key fixture on the urban dance scene, bringing together dancers, enthusiasts and professionals around the values of sharing, respect and excellence.
