Musician, performer, teacher of rhythm and polyphony for dancers and actors at the Conservatory of Mons, Baptiste Vaes has been directing choirs for around thirty years, dedicated to traditional songs and vocal improvisation. He performs regularly on stage as a singer, improviser and choir leader. Baptiste studied free improvisation in the class of Garett List at the Conservatory of Liège and trained in Sound and Music Healing with Pat Muffit Cook before he discovered the restructuring and regenerating power of the TaKeTiNa rhythmic process and trained himself in Australia with the founder Reinhard Flatischler and Master teacher Tania Bosak. He has been facilitating this practice since March 2013 and completed the certification as a Senior TaKeTiNa Teacher in November 2024.
