PhilosophyOur philosophy is that we believe that dancing in couples is not only when you hold someone to dance steps around the dance floor. For us, dancing in couples is when you embrace someone to share your energy with them. It must be energy that comes from the soul. You have to make the other person laugh when you are laughing. Make them feel strong when you are strong. Make them feel passion when you are passionate and make them feel like they are dancing on velvet with your smoothness. To feel the way the Latin dancers do when they are dancing in couples, you need to bring out your genuine emotions and share these with your partner. For us, the ultimate dance experience is for a couple to dance with soul. If you have a charming man and a sensual woman, both filled with feelings like power, love, anger, joy and passion, and putting these emotions in their movements to interpret the song using melody and rhythm of the music, this will bring out the soul in their dance! We created "Brazilian Soul" for these reasons. We will not teach you just steps. We will teach you how to dance authentic Latin dance with your soul! |
Daniel started teaching at Centro de Danca Jaime Arôxa, Rio de Janeiro in 2000. The school arguably has the best teaching methodology and is by far the biggest dance school in Brazil.
This makes Daniel the only dance instructor in Brisbane with years of actual instructing experience in Brazil.
In 2005, Carolyn moved to Rio de Janeiro to commence a full-time dance scholarship at the famous ‘Jaime Arôxa Dance Academy’ in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She worked 10 – 12 hour days, 6 days per week.
Carolyn is known as ‘the Australian that taught the Brazilians how to dance’
Claire has been with Brazilian Soul from its beginnings.
Countless classes and ability make her the authentic Brazilian Soul latin dance instructor.
Helen is the organiser of Brazilian Soul. Without Helen, we’d be spending so much time trying to get the paperwork organised that we wouldn’t find time to teach and dance!
