They each bring life experiences, pride, and unique creative talent to the dance floor, while incorporating hip-hop, urban, contemporary, and Brazilian social dance. Their social and cultural backgrounds fuel their inspiration and creativity, allowing for intense, genuine, and beautifully expressive movement.
