Professionally known as Les Twins, identical twin brothers Laurent and Larry Bourgeois (born December 6, 1988) are French dancers, choreographers, and models. Often referred to by their respective nicknames, "Lil Beast" and "Ca Blaze", they are recognized internationally for their talents in new style hip-hop dancing.〔 Born and raised in Sarcelles, France, the self-taught dance duo became the darlings of the French audience in 2000 as finalists on the popular television show ''Incroyable Talent''.〔 They quickly rose to prominence in the United States after a video of their performance on the San Diego leg of the 2010 World of Dance tour went viral on YouTube, nearing 29 million views as of May 4th, 2015.〔 In 2011 they won the Hip-hop New Style division of the prestigious international street dance competition Juste Debout. Les Twins have been featured dancers for various music artists, including Beyoncé, Meghan Trainor and Missy Elliott. Standing at 6'4" (193 cm) tall,〔 the brothers have modeled for French haute couture fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier and appeared in many high-profile commercial advertising campaigns. In addition to teaching their original choreography in workshops around the globe, they are also the founding members of the successful dance team Criminalz Crew.〔 == Early life and career beginnings == The twins were born on December 6, 1988 in Sarcelles, a commune in the northern suburbs of Paris, France. They are the youngest in a large, Guadeloupean〔 extended family of 9 children that includes two other sets of twins, and a brother 25 years their senior.〔 Neither Larry nor Laurent received any formal dance training. Instead, they learned by observing other breakers, lockers, and poppers and by teaching themselves classical ballet techniques.〔〔〔 At the age of 12, they began performing in concerts and musicals. According to WAD Magazine, "They were born dancers. They walked at 5 months, seriously moved their bodies at 18 months old, and at 9 they showed off steps they had invented to youngsters twice their age in their neighborhood."〔 In 2005 the brothers recruited five members to form their own dance team called Criminalz Crew, spending the next few years competing in hip-hop tournaments and entertaining crowds as street performers and in clubs.〔 In 2007 they danced to sold-out audiences in the musical ''Pas de Quartier'' at France’s esteemed Avignon Festival.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Les Twins」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
