Origin

Where we come from


Aroxa

Jaime Aroxa

Master of masters

After years of studying dance with Maria Antionetta, in 1986, Jaime Aroxa created his own dance school in Rio de Janeiro. The school, Centro de Danca Jaime ArĂ´xa, has now taught more than 25,000 students in Brazil and many more worldwide.

Daniel and Carolyn learnt directly from him, performed with him, and taught dance at his school.

Maria

Maria Antonietta

There would be no dancing as we know it without her. Maria Antonieta was the creator of teaching Latin dance in group classes. She taught the master of masters, Jaime Aroxa how to dance.
