Born into a line of sangomas - traditional Zulu healers - he grew up in a world where movement links bodies to spirits. This spiritual imprint has left a deep mark on his career, underpinning his vision of dance as a vital force, both rooted in tradition and open to the contemporary world.<\/p>\n<p>Trained at Moving Into Dance Mophatong, he has developed a singular aesthetic that he calls Afro-Fusion, fusing African, contemporary and ritual dances in a quest for balance between power, humility and humanity. Settled in France since 2005, where he created the Association Noa - Compagnie Vincent Mantsoe, he pursues an international career while remaining faithful to his roots. Through his creations, he explores memory, spirituality and the energy of the body as a universal language between past and future.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2278,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2277","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dance"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/150mdaltitude.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2277","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/150mdaltitude.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/150mdaltitude.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/150mdaltitude.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/150mdaltitude.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2277"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"https:\/\/150mdaltitude.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2277\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2371,"href":"https:\/\/150mdaltitude.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2277\/revisions\/2371"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/150mdaltitude.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2278"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/150mdaltitude.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2277"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/150mdaltitude.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2277"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/150mdaltitude.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2277"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
