Who is it for

This weekend is for you if…

01
You dance alone

You know the moves but feel disconnected from your partner. You want to understand what real connection feels like.

02
You're a beginner

You want to learn Tarraxo the right way — with connection as the foundation, not an afterthought.

03
You're intermediate

You have the basics but something is missing. You want to go deeper into musicality, lead & follow, and presence.

04
You teach Tarraxo

You want a structured method to transmit connection — not just steps, but the real feeling.

The Method

The TOCA Method

Toca = to touch, in the language of the dance. Four pillars designed to bring real connection back to partnership dancing.

T
Touch

Connection with your partner. Feeling through contact, not force.

O
Observation

Listening to your partner's body, energy and timing.

C
Control

Mastery of your movements. Precision without tension.

A
Awareness

Full presence — with yourself, your partner and the music.

Born in Paris, Dawou has been teaching and performing Tarraxo across more than 50 countries since 2016. Official Tarraxo dancer, manager of the first Tarraxo dancer team, trained by Kizzy, Gwany & Liliana de Lima — the pillars of the movement. With 10+ years of pedagogy experience as a former IT teacher, he knows how to structure learning and push dancers out of their comfort zone safely.

After years of observing dancers worldwide, he developed the TOCA Method around one simple truth:
"Most dancers dance alone — even when they have a partner."

His mission: bring back the real essence of Tarraxo. Two bodies. One connection.

What dancers say

After the experience

For the first time I understood what it means to truly dance with someone. Not at someone — with them.

Participant
Tahiti Bootcamp · 2022

Dawou doesn't teach steps. He teaches you to listen. After that weekend, everything changed on the dancefloor.

Participant
Tarraxo School · Paris

I'd been dancing Tarraxo for 2 years. I thought I knew it. This method showed me I was dancing alone the whole time.
