Quem sou eu...
Artista, Educador e Pesquisador de Dança
Olá! Sou o Pedro Nantes, artista, educador e pesquisador brasileiro com o coração totalmente entregue ao Zouk Brasileiro e à Lambada. Com mais de 20 anos de vivência na dança e 17 anos dedicados ao ensino, compreendi que dançar ultrapassa os limites de uma profissão: tornou-se a minha principal ferramenta para decifrar o corpo, a comunicação e as relações humanas.
Minha jornada tem me levado a diferentes países, permitindo-me colaborar com comunidades diversas e compartilhar experiências com milhares de alunos. Essas vivências moldaram o meu propósito: criar experiências de aprendizado que unam técnica refinada, consciência corporal, criatividade e conexão genuína.
Acredito que o Zouk e a Lambada são linguagens vivas e em constante evolução. Minha filosofia e linha de pesquisa buscam o equilíbrio entre a inovação e a manutenção da nossa cultura; transformamos o futuro quando respeitamos a história, a essência e as raízes profundas que tornam essas danças únicas.
Afinal, para mim, dançar não é apenas aprender passos.
É descobrir possibilidades.
Who I am...
Dance Artist, Educator & Researcher
Hi, I’m Pedro Nantes, Brazilian dance artist, educator, and researcher deeply passionate about Brazilian Zouk and Lambada. With over 20 years of experience on the dance floor and 17 years dedicated to teaching, dance has transcended being just a profession for me; it has become my primary lens for understanding the human body, communication, and relationships.
Having had the privilege of teaching in various countries, I’ve collaborated with diverse global communities and shared experiences with thousands of dancers worldwide. These connections shape my core purpose: to design learning experiences that seamlessly integrate technical precision, body awareness, creativity, and genuine connection.
My philosophy is rooted in a fine balance between innovation and cultural preservation. I believe that Brazilian Zouk and Lambada are living art forms that continue to evolve beautifully—as long as we honor the history, philosophy, and roots that make them unique.
Ultimately, I believe that dance is far more than just learning steps.
It is about discovering possibilities.
