The brothers Laurent and Larry Nicolas Bourgeois were born into a nine-child family in the suburb of Paris Sarcelles and, against all odds, succeeded in their dream. They are dancers, choreographers, producers, models, designers and creative directors for their own clothing brand. But the road to the absolute world top on the hip-hop dance stage was no dance on roses and the successes did not come overnight.

Their mother thought they would ignore the dance and get an education and a "real job".

- It was tough to show the world that this is what we want to do, says the twins.

"People thought we were crazy"

They are self-taught and broke through at home in France in 2008 in the popular TV show Incroyable Talent and soon became well known to the American audience. In 2011 they took home the victory in the prestigious international street dance competition Juste Debout.

- When we started dancing animatedly, people thought we were crazy. It wasn't even considered hip-hop. Now everyone dances like that, says Larry Bourgeois

"Not only that, they make music for us now," adds Laurent Bourgeois

Have toured with Beyonce

Le Twins has toured, among other things, with Beyonce who was the one who sought out the twins.

- We didn't dance for Beyonce, we danced with Beyonce, Les Twins emphasizes when talking about the collaboration.

Then they had not listened to her music so much but they soon became big fans. Les Twins thought it was a great trip, but it was no more important than any other project they are hoping for.

- All projects are important to us. Everything we do has to be better than what we have done before, ”says Les Twins.
