Phillippe Saint Paul

Philippe Saint Paul (Paris, France) started dancing at 14, when he discovered Tap, Jazz and Ballet. He received his professional dance training from Rosella Hightower in Cannes, France, where he studied Ballet, Jazz, Modern, Pas de Deux, Folk, Therapy, Flamenco and music. After choreographing for dancers of the Paris Opera Ballet for a French movie with the famous dancer Nijinsky, he continued on with his dance career which led him to the US for 13 years, where he worked with noted choreographers as Trisha Brown, Lance Gries, Demetrius Klein among others and danced with many great dancers such as Mihail Baryshnikov, among others. At the same time he kept choreographing such noted pieces as “Anna”, “Rachmaninov Rhapsodie”, “Mozart Requiem” and teaching from young kids to professionals (Alvin Ailey dance company, Ballet Florida, Palm Beach school of the arts, Southern dance Theatre, etc).

In 2010 he created Urban Bones Dance Company, and in only a few years he managed to create such works as “Crosswalks”, “Requiem”, “Don Quixote” and many others. His upcoming work, “Kafka on the Shore”, is inspired by the work of Haruki Murakami and deals with the subjects of migration of souls.
