Milan Geis

For many brands, history eventually fades into memory. But for Milan Geis, Dance France has always been something much more personal a family legacy, a cultural movement, and a vision worth rebuilding for a new generation. As the youngest son of François Geis, the founder of Dance France, Milan grew up surrounded by creativity, fashion, photography, movement, and the bold energy that made the brand iconic throughout the 1980s and 1990s. From an early age, he witnessed how Dance France helped redefine women’s activewear by blending European elegance with California freedom and expression. Today, Milan is leading the revival of Dance France while simultaneously building a career of his own in the international motorcycle and action sports industries. Over the years, Milan Geis has become widely recognized as a professional motorcycle influencer, journalist, content creator, and brand ambassador. Through his platform and global presence under the name “Ducatibiker,” he has worked with major brands throughout the motorcycle industry while building a strong audience across social media and digital platforms. His career began through action sports and downhill mountain biking before evolving into motorcycles, motorsports journalism, Ducati culture, and international brand collaborations. His experience in both creative media and performance sports gave him a unique understanding of visual storytelling, movement, fashion, and lifestyle branding elements that now strongly influence the modern revival of Dance France. Milan has spent years traveling internationally between the United States and Europe, working closely with motorcycle manufacturers, racing communities, photographers, media companies, and luxury brands. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with companies such as Ducati, Shark Helmets, Held Biker Fashion, Pirelli tires, Motul, Rizoma, Termignoni exhausts, BST Wheels, and many others within the motorsports world. As a motorcycle journalist and influencer, Milan became known for blending cinematic visuals, fashion forward styling, and high performance motorcycles into a unique lifestyle aesthetic. His work extends beyond simple product promotion focusing instead on culture, storytelling, movement, and emotion. That same philosophy now plays a major role in how he approaches the rebirth of Dance France. The revival of Dance France is not simply about reproducing old garments. For Milan, it is about preserving the emotional identity and cultural significance of the brand while introducing it to a completely modern audience. Every archive catalog, original garment, poster, and photograph becomes part of a much larger mission: restoring Dance France to its rightful place within women’s fashion history. One of the most important aspects of Milan’s approach has been authenticity. Instead of rushing the process, he has dedicated significant time to studying the original Dance France identity in detail. This includes collecting vintage garments, reconnecting with original models and supporters of the brand, sourcing archival photography, and carefully analyzing the silhouettes, fabrics, colors, and styling that made Dance France so recognizable during its peak years. At the same time, Milan understands the expectations of today’s generation. While preserving the aesthetics and emotional spirit of the original brand, he is also focused on improving quality, comfort, fit, and materials through modern production methods and advanced textiles. His goal is to merge the beauty and originality of the past with the functionality and craftsmanship expected today. The first stages of the revival began with heritage inspired pieces such as the Venice Beach Single Strap Sports Bra, the Third Street Sports Bra, and ribbed nylon leggings — garments directly inspired by original Dance France catalogs and archive photography. These early releases represent the foundation of a much larger vision centered around eventually reintroducing the iconic Dance France bodysuits that defined the brand throughout the 80s and 90s. For Milan, the bodysuit remains the soul of Dance France. The original silhouettes created by François Geis helped shape an entire era of dancewear, gymnastics fashion, and women’s activewear. By carefully studying those original designs, Milan hopes to bring them back using modern fabrics and updated construction techniques while preserving the confidence, femininity, and movement that made them legendary. Beyond fashion, Milan is also rebuilding the Dance France community itself. Based between Arizona and Europe, he has begun organizing creative shoots, dance collaborations, heritage campaigns, and lifestyle focused storytelling that reconnects women with the emotional side of the brand. Ballet, gymnastics, dance culture, body movement, and expressive fashion are all becoming part of the rebirth of Dance France once again. His background in action sports and motorcycles has also influenced the energy behind the brand’s relaunch. The same passion for movement, freedom, adrenaline, artistry, and individuality that exists within motorcycle culture now blends naturally into the new Dance France identity. Milan’s ability to bridge fashion, motorsports, media, and storytelling gives the brand a unique modern perspective while still respecting its original roots. Perhaps most importantly, Milan continues to preserve and honor the people who helped shape Dance France history. From original models such as Tia Carrere, Nicolette Sheridan, Angela Harry, and others connected to the brand’s early success, to the photographers, archive imagery, and original collections that defined its visual identity, the revival remains deeply connected to the people who made Dance France unforgettable. The process has not been easy. Rebuilding a legacy brand decades later requires patience, creativity, research, emotional investment, and vision. But for Milan Geis, this project represents something much larger than fashion alone. It is about continuing the dream his father started in 1979 a dream that blended movement, femininity, European elegance, California culture, and self expression into something completely timeless. Today, Dance France is slowly returning piece by piece. Through remastered heritage garments, modern reinterpretations, archival storytelling, and the growing support of a passionate community, Milan Geis is helping bring one of the most iconic movement-fashion brands of the 1980s and 1990s back to life.
