Vivian is an artist and a scientist who loves dancing. Born and raised in Brazil, she trained in ballet for seven years. While in Canada, she completed Zumba Basic 1 and 2 trainings and volunteered as a Zumba instructor for six months when she went back to Brazil. Vivian’s love for Pagode Baiano began at the age of 11 during a family trip to Bahia, where she was introduced to this vibrant dance style with deep African roots. Ever since, she has been captivated by its cultural richness, energy, and joy. Now, Vivian is excited to share this upbeat, transformative energy of Pagode Baiano in Canada, as she believes it can connect people and inspire them through the universal language of dance.
