Believing in your dreams is Lenny Terriat’s leitmotif. The young 11-year-old Guadeloupean dancer, winner of the national classical dance competition in Montpellier last May, has just been hired under contract at La Scala in Milan, in the prestigious Italian school where he will continue his training in the goal of one day becoming an international dance star.
Among the 300 candidates who dreamed of joining this prestigious school, only 4 were selected, including Lenny. A dream come true for the young classical dancer.
But before setting foot in Milan on September 8, Lenny is currently training at La Fabrik Academy in Les Abymes to be ready with a 100% dance programme.

But Lenny is aware of it and the work does not scare him.

Especially since he is naturally gifted. A pride for his mother, Sandra Legoinha, who will have to separate from him for some time.
