After a long process of lung cancer on July 22, 2015, despite his youth, we had to say goodbye to him.
We will remember him for his courage, wisdom, passion, knowledge, friendship, joy, determination, energy, rhythm, creativity and his deep love for art. A true master of the tap. A hoofer by heart. You leaved the world too early. We will never forget you Ludo.
