Description: Lessons in Handstanding and Dance

Name: Tayane Almeida

“Since I was a child, I’ve always been on the move and whilst I was still young, I went my brothers to play in the dance hall. I learnt a few steps, moved on to ballet, Angolan capoeira, contemporary dance (all through social projects) and then at 20 I went to the dance instructor Angel Vianna. It was there and through the friends I made that I got to know the world of the circus. In 2013, I did my first circus floor-based lessons in Project Carequinha. In the same year, I took the entry test to PROFAC, getting a lot of support from the friends I knew from my classes with Angel. I completed my technical graduation in dance and as a circus professional. Today, I bring various techniques to my dancing, adding capoeira and now street dance. In parallel with my artistic career, today I am also a dance teacher at the school of circus where I graduated @circocrescereviver

To finish, I’d like to thank all of those who have been and continue to be part of my pathway, which I continue to follow. I wouldn’t have been able to do it alone!”
