​My journey in contemporary dance began in 2008 with the Experimental Dance Group of the City in Porto Alegre, Brazil. In 2015, I completed a BA in Dance focusing on education at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). I've had the privilege of working as a dancer in professional companies such as Muovere and the Companhia Municipal de Dança de Porto Alegre, as well as collaborating with renowned artists including Rui Moreira (former dancer of Grupo Corpo) and Mark Sieczkarek (former dancer of Pina Bausch).
 

These collaborations and touring across South America and Portugal have deeply shaped my artistic development. I've also co-created the circus-theatre-dance show Umas e Outras and the minimalistic live music-dance-video mapping work elã. Alongside my dance career, my passion for the human body and movement continuously drives me to deepen my knowledge and understanding.
 

In 2022, I was awarded a full scholarship for the MA in Expanded Dance Practice at the London Contemporary Dance School, where I researched Candombe, decoloniality, and belonging. During the program, I was mentored by distinguished educators, including Hilary Stainsby, Lauren Potter, Katye Coe, Tom Hastings, Orrow Bell, Temitope Ajose, Theo Clinkard, Charlie Morrissey, Charlotte Spencer, and Seke Chimutengwende.
 

As a teacher and performer, I focus on contemporary dance, floorwork, and Latin American dance styles such as Brazilian funk and cumbia, alongside researching improvisation and scenic creation. My work is rooted in a deep curiosity about the intersections of movement, culture, and education. I teach a variety of dynamic dance styles, including energetic Latin Moves and tailored Over 50s Latin Moves. Join me and discover the joy of dance - no matter your age or experience level!
