After training in soccer and studying guitar in the Netherlands, Abe Simon Mijnheer moved to Montreal in 2012. There he discovered a passion for contemporary dance which led him to study it at Concordia University and then, in 2016, at the École de danse contemporaine de Montréal. He completed the 3-year training program, during which he performed works by Marie Chouinard, Alan Lake, Virginie Brunelle, Catherine Tardif, Ginette Laurin, Manuel Roque, to name a few. He began his professional career as a performer working with Sébastien Provencher, Teoma Naccarato, Aurélie Pédron, Lina Cruz, Frédérick Gravel and Le Carré des Lombes. Abe enjoys integrating dance training with other practices such as yoga, soccer, running, as well as singing and music.
