Join us in welcoming Stophy back to Victoria! You all loved him so much the first time and have been asking to have him back. This time we are bringing not only Konpa but Afrobeats!!!

Born in Burundi, Stophy discovered his love for dance at an early age. Over time, teaching became a natural path. He shared his passion and taught many dancers in both Burundi and Rwanda — it was there that he fell in love with Konpa.

Proficient in Salsa, Afrobeats, Kizomba, Semba, Bachata, and more, his passion followed him across the ocean. Now based in Montreal, he continues to develop his Konpa teaching alongside Meggie at MCKonpa Dance School.

Known for his fun energy, generosity, kindness, and deep knowledge, Stophy brings joy wherever he goes — and an unforgettable presence on the dance floor.
