Arouna Guindo

Dancer, choreographer and designer, Arouna Guindo is one of the figures of hip hop dance in Cotonou. As an enthusiast for martial arts, he practices capoera as well as break dance. As he became an orphan, he lived on the street for several years, which to this day remains a difficult period from which he managed to escape by devoting himself entirely to dance.

After winning several competitions and participating in the organization of hiphop festivals, he now teaches at the Multicorps

Choreographic Center in Cotonou. 

In 2017, he obtained an artistic residency in Berlin where he created the solo Toguna. 

In 2019,  he imagined Chaos Elegant, an experimental hip hop creation platform that comes in different parts (#Atchan, # La Rature…) and in 2021 becomes a stage performance for 8 dancers and a percussionist.(Jaï production / Institut Français du Bénin).

As a performer, he produces himself in public spaces, in markets and at the crossroads of the main avenues of Cotonou, with 24 or 48 hours non-stop performances.
