With their particular way of working, they complement eachother with a traditional & casual style, making a unique couple and adding to the growth of dance & Zouk in the south of Brazil. As partners they have been teaching in some of the main Zouk events in Brazil like Zouk Day Congress(SP), Zouk in Rio (RJ) & UaiZouk(MG), moreover they have been giving workshops & teaching at events in several other cities like Porto Alegre, Florianópolis, Curitiba, Campinas, Londrina, among others.
