I was born in Haiti in October 3, 1957. My sign is Libra, my mother Macilia St-Paul and Father Legagneur E. Jacques. I started my career by learning basic dance movements at an early age in Les Cayes-Haiti. To me, it was a very natural part of my life style and I considered it an entertaining and challenging hobby. In 1980, I began my exploration of ballroom dancing at the Policar International Dance Institute in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. I also developed my skills and talents in journalism at Tele-Haiti, where I gained invaluable expertise in the field of video production. To me, the role of dance was unique in maintaining a national and cultural identity.
In 1984, I ventured to the United States to pursue and further develop a career in film directing. I was invited to join the Arthur Murray Board of Ballroom Dance educators in its rigorous teaching training program. With the demands and challenges of the program, and as an associate social dance instructor, I achieved a greater understanding of the significance and impact dance would have on my life. I arduously studied and graduated with a Music and Video Business degree (MVB) from the prestigious Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, Florida and business ownership and management and developed a teaching system that conveyed to my students an understanding that musical rhythms are cultural representations while pursuing my study in media law and digital filmmaking.view less
