Teaching Artist Legacy Statement

As a dance teacher artist I contribute with cultural experiences where students are introduced to various Brazilian dance styles and traditions, promoting engagement, cooperation, teamwork and appreciation for diversity. Academic subjects gain life through dance movements. Also dance movements target a better coordination, muscle strength, flexibility and endurance.


By learning dance patterns students will have better control of their bodies, improving their ability to perform, improving their self esteem as well their rhythm and cognitive function. Dance is an expressive art form that can help students to focus, remove distractions and mental clutter.
