Fayçal Toumi

29 years old, single, left tibial amputee for the past 5 years, I've been dancing since I was 13. As a specialized educator by profession, this job allows me to manage both my sporting time and my resumption of my Master's degree to finish a course in clinical psychology with children/adolescents. I've always played several sports, but I'm still more focused on my development in dance. Hopper has enabled me to resume my sporting objectives and regain a normal daily routine/balance, and I wear the blade every day. I've been able to take part in various training courses at France's top schools in Paris, Lyon and Annecy (Geneva and Italy too). I'm still training, and trail running and skiing push me to excel in my favorite sport. I'd like to train at European and then International level in various camps around the world (particularly in the USA, but also in Japan, Canada, Australia, Hungary...) The list is long, and for the moment, these goals are just for fun, but knowing that dance will be part of the Olympic Games in 2024 pushes me to think bigger and I intend to push myself to achieve them! I've been teaching hip-hop in a small association in my town for nearly 1 and a half years, my goal being to be able to pass auditions and follow an artist on tour or on other showcases, we have to set an example at Salomon that everything is possible and attainable when you give yourself the means.
