Who I Am

A girl from Brazil who
moved to the desert…

"I left Brazil on International Dance Day, in 2013, to experience bellydance at its origin - and without knowing it, I stepped into the biggest adventure of my life!"

For over 13 years I've lived and worked across the Arab world, performed on prestigious stages, taught students of more than 20 nationalities, and opened my own dance school right here in Abu Dhabi.

I'm a mother, postgraduate in Exercise Physiology, and I believe every woman holds a greater strength inside her - one that dance so often awakens.

Why Learn With Me

What makes me
different

A journey built on stage, in practice, and in science - so you can learn in the best way possible.

01

Real experience in the Middle East

I learned by living alongside musicians, artists and Arab audiences for over a decade. It's daily lived experience, not theory.

02

Science-based method

My postgraduate degree in Exercise Physiology lets me teach your body to move with intelligence and safety, making learning easier.

03

A real studio in Abu Dhabi

I run an active in-person school with students from 20+ nationalities. My method is tested live, every single day.

04

Warmth, without losing respect

I teach with Brazilian warmth, without ever losing the respect this dance and its Arab culture deserve.

Beyond the Dancer
"

Mother, woman,
dancer

Motherhood didn't take me away from dance - it deepened my connection to it. I learned firsthand that the female body is extraordinary, and that caring for yourself is an act of love.

I teach from that place: respect for your pace, your body and your story. You don't need to be perfect to start dancing. You just need to start.
