Ramsés Amadeus
Ramses has been involved with music, dance, and expressive arts for 14 years. He's been dancing zouk and contemporary movement for the last 8 years, with his main focus being connection, expression, empathy, sensuality and affection. His passion is discovering expression through movement and activating it together with his dance partner.
Ramses is a classically trained musician. He began his musical journey with the piano and fell in love with it. A few years later, he blasted off to the next level musically with his studies of composition, performance, music theory, singing, and drums.
His engagement with music and expressive arts has since evolved to incorporate Latin partner dancing, starting with salsa, bachata, swing, Fusion, and at his self-proclaimed "last stop” on the journey, Zouk and contemporary solo dance. The latter are Ramses' main source of deep connection with himself and others
