Fauve Hautot

Early life
Fauve Hautot was born in Dieppe. Her father was an accountant with a passion for dance, and her mother was a dance teacher. She has a younger sister, Calliope, and an older brother, Ashley. She grew up in the village of Saint-Vaast-Dieppedalle (Seine-Maritime). Her name means "wildcat" or "big cat" in French. Her parents chose the name Fauve "after seeing the series Mistral's Daughter, in which a heroine is named Fauve".

As the age of 5, she began dancing Latin dances with her brother.
