Courtney Ffrench

Courtney “French” Ffrench was born in Kingston, Jamaica. Early on he watched his cousin’s ballet classes when she was babysitting him, although “I wasn’t really interested in that.” But when he 12-years old, he saw the Hustle as it was performed by John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, which interested him greatly. Once he perfected his personalized version of the dance, the somewhat introverted Ffrench won a dance contest at school. “So from 12 on, I pretty much danced every day, even without music.”
