Shut Up & Listen feat. Medhi

My name is Medhi but my friends call me “very French” (which I guess I am lol) 🙃

Coordination level: Great when I dance Swan Lake, not always so good when I dance to Missy Elliott 🥸

I’m happiest when… I’m home.

My favourite “guilty” pleasure song is “It’s all coming back to me Now” by Celine Dion because it’s about 7.30 min long and I actually believe that I’m Celine Dion when it comes on.

Best music video of all time is not actually the best video of all time, but I’m a Slave for 4 U by Britney Spears. Great pop song and the dancing in the video is epic.

Something that I continually ask myself is am I deluded? 🤔

Why do you think dance is important? Whether you dance or whether you watch people, dance it makes you feel something ✨

And how does it show up in the other areas of your life? Dance has shown up every day in my life since I’m about 8 years old. I was lucky enough to be a professional ballet dancer for 18 years and I am now a classical tutor at the New Zealand School of Dance in Wellington.

Something that has changed since my first Shut Up & Dance class is I get to pretend that I’m Christina with my very good friend Gemma (she is Britney though).

The Shut Up & Dance routine that best describes me is Burlesque because I am feeling my fantasy when I do it 🤩
My life motto is you only live once so I should try stop worrying so much.

My alter ego is Honey Badger because he doesn’t give a s#%t!

My favourite artist is Celine Dion and Sylvie Guillem (she is a ballet dancer) 🩰

The most important thing life has taught me so far is to not worry about what other people think, and try be kind to others 🙌

To pay the bills I work work work work work work he said me haffi work work work work work work 🎤

If money was no object I would travel as much as I can (first class) stay in 5 star hotels and eat wherever I want 🤑

My most dorky moment this week is yet to come…

My most empowered moment this week was being told I am good at what I do. Thank you very much *pat on the back*

I wanted to be a dancer when I grew up.

The world would be a better place if people kept their opinion to themselves.

The routine I want to learn the most is I’m a Slave 4 U.

If I was a cake I would be a French Marbré au chocolat cake with a glass of milk (cake should always be eaten with milk) 👌
