Born in Lebanon to parents of Lebanese/Greek nationalities, and having his grandmother’s Cuban blood running through his veins; Charles Makriss grew up in an atmosphere where traditions, his talent, and his creativity mingled together to give birth to a successful young choreographer. Charles began his dance journey at the age of 5 starting with the traditional Greek dance, then the Lebanese folk dance, followed by the Charleston, then the Funky Jazz, to finally come across the Mambo and Pop at the age of 12, and the Street Dance which he excels the most.
