2024 AGENDA
I came back recently from a South American tour and had the greatest opportunity to learn and share stage with the only and one Zoe Jakes and Her Choreography Intensive was absolutely amazing and intense, so much learning and a methodology that had a huge impact in our creative and stage processes as teachers and choreographers. I’ve learned a lot and I can’t wait to share with you all how her influence can change a whole scenario, specially when we talk about choreography! She is one of the most important and talented dancers in the Fusion Style and having her in a classroom is just another level, so Here are some photos from the amazing event held by Joline Andrade in Brazil.

Driven by a thirst for exploration and artistic growth, Thais's dance odyssey began at the tender age of three, as she embarked in classical ballet training and Theatre, laying the foundation for a lifelong passion for movement and expression.
As her artistic journey unfolded, our director ventured into various dance genres, exploring the realms of commercial dance, contemporary styles, and the vibrant rhythms of Brazilian regional dance. This diverse exposure enriched her dance vocabulary and nurtured her versatility as a performer.
