Remi Kesteman has been dancing for as long as he can remember, and balfolk specifically since 2006. Born in Belgium, adopted by Portugal, his many backgrounds allow him to quickly connect with a variety of different cultures, which he believes is the essence of balfolk. His teaching methods are fed by a number of activities: from dance and music to the martial and the performing arts.
Remi has taught in several festivals including, but not limited to Andanças, Tradidanças (PT), Gennetines (FR), Prague Balfolk Immersion (CZ), Boombal, ComSibal (BE), Cadansa, Dansstage Enschede (NL), Lovembal, Balfolk.pl (PL), Venezia Balla (IT).
As a cello player, he also performs regularly with Fahrenheit (2019), La Grosse Réveilleuse (2024) and La Man Encantada (2025).
