Dancing at a late stage in his life, Forty Nguyen started taking breaking classes at the age of 18. 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. Recently graduating from Concordia’s Contemporary Dance Department, Forty is now working as an interpreter for the company Destins Croisés
