He soon became serious about his dancing career when he performed his first solo at Definition Non Applicable Urban Dance Festival at the MAI (Montreal, Arts interculturels) in 2004. From then on, he continued to do shows for the Jazz Festival (2005), Usine C (2005) and TOHU (2006). In 2006, he was part of the cast of “Demain”, a piece by choreographer Paula de Vasconcelos of Pigeon International, with whom he performed in Montreal and toured in Columbia. Forty’s style is a mixture of bboying, ballet technique, acrobatics and hip hop. He is currently doing his final year of Concordia’s Contemporary Dance Department and is getting ready to start an apprenticeship with the Rubberband Dance Company, under the mentorship of famous choreographer Victor Quijada, formerly of Grands Ballets.Age: 24Ethnicity: VietnameseHeight: 5' 11 inchesWeight: 155 lbseye color: brownhair: black
