Biography

Généreux met his partner and wife while ballroom dancing in Quebec, Canada. They competed successfully as amateurs starting in 1977, and then professionally in 1986, in the Latin and 10-dance dancesport divisions, and retired in 1998. [ [http://www.studio665.com/genereux.html Studio 665 ] ]

They have been featured dancers on the PBS series "Championship Ballroom Dancing" and most recently, were guest choreographers on the Fox dance competition-reality show "So You Think You Can Dance". [ [http://www.fox.com/dance/bios/s3_jean_marc.htm Fox Broadcasting Company: So You Think You Can Dance ] ] They were also featured dancers on the big screen in the film "Dance with Me", starring Vanessa L. Williams. Also, Généreux played a "Smarmy Old Man" in the ballroom dance film "Shall We Dance", starring Jennifer Lopez. [ [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0312753/ Jean Marc Genereux ] ]

As of 2008, Généreux is a permanent judge with Tre Armstrong on the first season of "So You Think You Can Dance Canada".

Marriage and children

Généreux married his dance partner, France Mousseau, and they had their first child, Jean-Francis, in 1996, and their second, Francesca, in 1999. Their daughter, Francesca, suffers from Rett Syndrome; Généreux and his wife work with others to raise awareness and money around this rare neurological condition. [ [http://www.studio665.com/newsletters/03.25.04.html Welcome to Studio 665! ] ]

On Season 4 of "So You Think You Can Dance", Généreux choreographed a Viennese waltz for Kherington Payne and Stephen Twitch Boss, a dance that he openly dedicated to daughter Francesca.
