Born in South Korea and raised in France, Mathis Joubert discovered dance through breakdancing before exploring classical dance. Driven by a self-taught passion, he founded his first dance group, Slybreak Danse, and created his first performances in his teenage years. In 2013, he joined the Suzanne Valadon High School in Limoges, one of the few French schools offering a dance program. That same year, a workshop under the direction of Sergio Simòn, director of the Limoges Opera, gave him the opportunity to audition for VM Dance Studio in Toulouse, where he began classical dance training at the age of 16.

Three years later, he stood out by winning several prestigious awards: • 1st prize at the "Get Up & Fais Ton Truc" competition, organized by Carrefour and Jamel Debbouze. • Best Talent Award at the Amsterdans international competition. • 2nd prize in senior contemporary solo at the Prix d’Europe. • 1st place at the #lamiastoriadidanza competition, organized by Capezio and the Danza In Fiera festival.

In 2016, he moved to New York to join the Peridance Capezio Center Certificate Program on a scholarship. The following year, he was admitted to the prestigious Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater school with a full scholarship for a two-year program. At the same time, he received scholarships for intensive training at renowned institutions such as the École Nationale de Danse de Marseille, Alonzo King Lines Ballet, The Ailey School, Complexions Contemporary Ballet, Jacob's Pillow, and Visceral Dance Chicago.

His professional career quickly blossomed, allowing him to dance for major events such as the Darley Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. He also became an assistant choreographer to Michael Blake at Steps On Broadway (former director of the Joffrey Ballet School). He collaborated with internationally renowned choreographers such as Christopher Huggins, Ray Mercer, Jennifer Archibald, Brice Mousset, and Francesca Harper, and participated in the Nick Cave visual artist exhibit at the Park Avenue Armory.

He continued to gain stage and audiovisual experience, appearing in music videos for artists like YoYo Ibarra and Fredrik Eklund. His talent was also sought after for several TV productions, including Mensonges (TF1), Bendo (Netflix), and Parallèles (Disney+). In 2023, he joined the cast of the film Astérix & Obélix: The Middle Kingdom, directed by Guillaume Canet.

In 2019, Mathis joined Visceral Dance Chicago and toured internationally in Mexico before joining the international company SweetBird Productions, led by Rasta Thomas and Adrienne Canterna, for their production of Romeo and Juliet in Germany.

In 2021, he performed at the 14th of July Concert at the Eiffel Tower, accompanied by cellist Gautier Capuçon. He then continued his career, collaborating on music videos and advertising campaigns for brands such as CooKoon Paris, Club Forfait, and France 3 TV.

His journey took a new turn in 2022 when he became a soloist and artistic director aboard the new Le Commandant Charcot cruise ship by Ponant, in Antarctica. He later joined several European tours with SweetBird Productions and performed at haute couture events such as the FRED Jewelry show in Paris during Fashion Week.

In 2023-2024, he joined Verb Ohio Contemporary Ballet, where he teaches and participates in international competition juries, such as the Les Espoirs de la Danse in Montpellier and the Bravissimo International Competition in Montreal. He also received several offers from prestigious companies, including Spectrum Dance Theater, Ballet Hispánico II, and The Lion King.

For the 2024/2025 season, he joins BalletX, one of the most influential neo-classical companies in the United States. He works with renowned choreographers such as Jodie Gates, Marguerite Donlon, Stina Quagebeur, Loughlan Prior, Amy Hall Garner, Matthew Neenan, Gregory Dawson, Caili Quan, Take Ueyama, Jennifer Archibald, and Justin Peck. His engagement has led him to perform at prestigious venues such as the Kennedy Center (Washington D.C.), the Joyce Theater (New York), the Harris Theater (Chicago), as well as at the Vail Dance Festival, the Laguna Dance Festival, and on tours to New Orleans, Texas, and Quebec.

Today, Mathis Joubert continues his ascent in the dance world, combining technical excellence, creativity, and artistic commitment, with the ambition to inspire the next generation of dancers and contribute to the evolution of contemporary ballet. Passionate about education, he shares his expertise by teaching internationally and sitting on the juries of renowned competitions.
