Claudio Ribeiro

I was born in a small city called Volta Redonda in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and became a dancer at the age of 16. My first classes were in jazz but his teacher saw my talent and sent me to study ballet at GACEMSS Theatre where I remained for nine years and late became modern dance teacher there. After moving to Rio de Janeiro I joined the Ballet Company of the Rio de Janeiro but worked additionally with several small local companies. I was a member of the Deborah Colker Dance Company, one of the most important companies of Brazil which toured worldwide. Most recently, in Brazil, I was a member of the Ana Vitória Contemporary Company. I also studied aerial acrobatics such as trapeze, fabric (silk) and rock climbing (especially edited for scenic arts). Falling in love and moving to the US, I have been studying America modern dance and got my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in dance at the University of Illinois in December 2009.

It Was the right decision move to New York, leave the University gave such a relieve and I don't have to deal with some of the fake people at the dance dpto.
I'm happy to get to know Tracey Greenfield and I have the feeling that will be a great to work with her....
