ABOUT ME
Edson “Sonfu” – Dancer, Choreographer & Teacher
Born in 1971 on tropical Curacao, Edson grew up in a culture full of rhythm and dance. At a young age he came into contact with various dance influences, especially breakdance – the trend in his youth. His passion for movement quickly grew into a lifestyle.
Dance style & Specialization
Although his roots lie in hip hop and breakdance, Edson developed into an all-round dancer. He immersed himself in various styles, which makes his choreographies stand out through creativity, technique and originality. His style is powerful and flowing, with influences from Krump, popping, locking, urban and salsa.
With his technical knowledge and musicality he knows how to make complex movements accessible to everyone. This background also gave him the right tools to specialize in salsa on2 (NY-style) – a style that perfectly matches his sense of rhythm, flow and precision. In his own dance school Son Del Mambo he teaches this style with passion.
The Nicknames: Sonfu & E-See
In the dance crew Delusion Edson got his nickname Sonfu, a playful combination of EdSON and kung FU, because of his martial arts-inspired style. He is also known as E-SEE, which stands for:
EASY – an accessible, pleasant personality to work with;
EASY – his dance style looks smooth, effortless and full of flow;
SEE E – or: “See Edson at work!”
