I am the first foreign dancer hired by the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow. I was born and trained in Brazil and danced on the biggest stages in the world. During 16 years in The Bolshoi Theatre, I danced in” Swan Lake”, “Don Quixote”, “Corsair”, “La Bayadere”, “Nutcracker”, “Sleeping Beauty”, “Spartak” and other performances. I a degree in Pedagogy from the Russian Theater Institute, specializing in Classical Dance by the Vaganova Method. I was a Body Ballet teacher at one of the most renowned ballet schools in Moscow, Central Ballet School. The ballet class offered is a combination of Classical Ballet and Fitness and based on the method designed by the ballerina Mariana Gomes for amateur ballet dancers: it is a basic introduction to ballet for all ages, beginners and amateurs that follows the splendid Vaganova Russian method, but applied in a light, Brazilian and cheerful professional way. BodyBallet has been very popular around the world, becoming one of the favorite activities of some well-known personalities. The reason for this lies in the series of benefits it offers: 1. High calorie-burning activity, which helps to lose weight or maintain weight; 2. Muscle-strengthening; 3. Work with the whole body (just like Classical Ballet); 4. Improve posture; 5. Improve breathing; 6. Refine the lines of the body; 7. Improve balance; 8. Ensure Interaction (since classes are done in groups); 9. Develop flexibility 10. Improve musicality;
