Biography
Aurélien Lehmann tasted the pleasures of the stage from childhood, as a pipe organ player in his father's belle-époque cabaret "Les Orgues de Roubaix". He started tap dancing at the age of 15 and taught himself, equipped with a metronome, a board and a simple pair of shoes. He discovered a real passion for this dance, nourished by his taste for American cinema (Fred Astaire, Rita Hayworth, etc.) as well as his musical (piano) and sports (rugby, which he played for 13 years ) . A graduate of Sciences Po, he lived for two years in the middle of a sedentary gypsy family in Croatia and learned the Serbo-Croatian language and the accordion. From 2012 to 2017 he taught Modern Literature at the Catholic University of Lille as a part-time professor.
