Early Life and Education

Diagnosed with ADHD at 15, Léo found dance to be a vital outlet for his energy, starting with dance awakening classes at age four, followed by classical dance at five, which he found restrictive. He later explored capoeira at six and breakdance at seven, shaping his eclectic style.

Details about his formal education are limited, as he was disinterested in school, famously expressing frustration after his first day, but his passion for dance led him to focus on artistic pursuits. He is of mixed ethnicity with Flemish, Asian, and Portuguese heritage, and his religion is not publicly known.

Career

Nicknamed “Léo Walk” at 15 by hip-hop legend Thony Maskot after struggling with the “walk” dance move, he embraced the moniker. His professional break came in 2013 with a solo in a Thierry Mugler show at age 18, followed by a three-year world tour with Christine and the Queens (2014–2017), choreographed by Marion Motin, including an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in 2016.

His work with artists like Roméo Elvis and Thylacine further elevated his profile, particularly through choreography for music videos.

In 2018, Walk founded La Marche Bleue, a dance company blending breakdance, hip-hop, and contemporary styles, which he terms “walkance.” His debut show, Première Ride (2020), a poetic exploration of the transition from adolescence to adulthood, premiered at the Théâtre du Châtelet and was lauded for its emotional depth.

His 2023 production, Maison d’en face, inspired by his experiences during the COVID-19 lockdown, toured France and Belgium, earning acclaim for its tender portrayal of human connection. Walk also choreographed for high-profile events, including the 2020 César Awards opening with Florence Foresti and L’Oréal fashion shows, showcasing his versatility.
