His discipline: longboard dancing, a clever mix of skateboarding, surfing and dancing. "This sport was born in the United States but has completely exploded in Europe and France", details this smiling brunette. In the wake of this professional, a small community of enthusiasts was born on the banks of the Seine. “He really brought together the community of longboarders in Paris and everywhere. Thanks to him, we meet up with lots of people and we meet lots of people ”, rejoices Hamza, one of the followers of the discipline.
"The watchword of our movement is inclusiveness", praises the Parisian master. On the banks of the Seine, the new ones are welcomed with kindness and encouraged. And if this sport is also open to beginners, it is perhaps because it allows you to express yourself on a board a little differently. "We all dance, so there are always small steps to add and we very rarely feel restricted," decrypts Lotfi Lamaali.
