From the Streets to the Spotlight: Meet Maurizio Mandorino.

Having started on the cobblestones of certain alleyways. First steps and footwork have been done back in 1985, which makes him a pioneer of Hip Hop culture in Switzerland. His unconventional journey led him to become a champion of acrobatic rock, including a world championship title and three world-first titles. Maurizio was responsible for the national elite acrobatic rock framework while also making his mark in the hip-hop world, where he was crowned European champion.

He had never rested on his laurels; he frequently travels to New York to continue his training and even to pass on his knowledge. This aspect of transmission plays a crucial role in his career, as it has led him to teach around the globe, from Italy to Sweden, and from the United States to Russia.

His universe can be likened to a well-constructed puzzle, encompassing various styles such as salsa, jazz, and contemporary dance. Maurizio had the chance to work with a lot of personalities such as Robin Thicke for which he choreographed and danced a few years ago. The media have taken notice of him, leading to his role as a coach on the new television show "Alors on danse" on the national RTS swiss channel.
