This quote has also deeply marked Annaelle Maunier who has been spinning on the dance floor of the association since the age of 3 and who won the gold medal. raised at the Turn It Up dance competition held in the United States last May thanks to her breathtaking interpretation of contemporary dance to the song "Train wreck" by James Arthur. If it is Deyon that we owe the choreography, it is Annaelle who chose this song with a great emotional charge. The young dancer has reappropriated it to express through dance all her emotions linked to her attachment to the island and the damage still very present after Irma. Pride of the Rhythm and Groove school, Annaelle also won the title of best student for the year 2020/2021 by placing herself in the leading duo, all styles or dance classes combined. From the age of 10, Annaelle won an entry to the prestigious Paris Marais dance school for a summer internship on the virtuosity program 2022.
