Besim Hoti is student at Codarts and dancer in Scapino Ballet. He started dancing in Sliedrecht when he was 14. Electric boogie was his specialty. 'My friends and I viewed clips and movies on YouTube. We taught ourselves, on the street.' Artistic director Ed Wubbe created a dance piece for Besim and Michal Rynia to the music of Johan Sebastian Bach, called B.A.M. 'One day Ed Wubbe asked me if I wanted to take part in a new show with 'Leading Edge', the solo version of B.A.M. I immediately said yes! On TEDxRotterdam Besim Hoti and musician Marielle Rijkaart performed Leading Edge, what a thrill! About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
