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.
