Sylvain Brochu

Dancer and Yoga Instructor

Originally from Sherbrooke, Quebec, Sylvain Brochu is a graduate of l’Université du Québec à Montréal. He is recognized as a master of interpretation as well as an accomplished educator. After living in Toronto, Winnipeg, Vancouver, and Quebec City, Sylvain has made his home on the Sunshine Coast, BC, where he teaches contemporary dance and yoga. He has worked with more than 40 choreographers and as a soloist, has a repertoire of uncommon eclecticism. Sylvain’s appearances as a dance performer are selective & are savoured with a deepened sense of thanksgiving. His scope as a dance teacher ranges from the university program to recreational, including high schools. His yoga practice feeds his dance, and is founded on over 20 years of exploration into the human body and movement

Peggy Baker created a solo for Sylvain Brochu, Yang, in 1998, and Sylvain has taught yoga at Peggy Baker Dance Projects’ annual August Intensive since 2004.
