CARLOS & FERNANDA
 

We are Carlos da Silva and Fernanda da Silva, Brazilians from Rio de Janeiro, dancers, instructors, performers, choreographers, and organizers, based in Prague, Czech Republic. Carlos has been dancing since 1998, Fernanda since 2006, and as partners since 2008.

 

 

In 2005, Carlos opened the first Latin dance studio in the Czech Republic and became the pioneer of Brazilian dancers in the country, especially in Brazilian Zouk, Samba Gafieira, and Samba Carnival. Together, we developed our own dance and teaching methods, which we use for local and international classes, festivals, and congresses.

 

Throughout our careers, we have been champions in several competitions around the world, such as;

ZNL Amsterdam,  Casa Zouk, Prague Zouk Congress,  L.A Zouk Congress,  Singapore Brazilian Festival,  Zouk Sea in Malaysia,  Sydney Spring Festival,  Elevation Zouk Festival USA, Russia Zouk championship.

 

OUR SPECIALTY

As professionals, we teach and perform these dance styles: Salsa cubana, Salsa line, Bachata, Brazil dance fitness, Bolero, Ladies Styling, Samba Carnival, Samba de Gafieira, and Forró. As dance lovers, we also enjoy dancing the Tango, West Coast Swing, and Kizomba.

 

ORGANIZATION

We have organized numerous cultural events for kids and adults in fantastic locations throughout Prague. These venues include Střelecké Ostrov, Manes, Žluté Lázně, Lávka, Terasa Smíchov, Křižíkova fontána, Aqua Palace Praha, and more. Since 2010, we have organized the Prague Zouk Congress, which is attended by an increasing number of fans of Brazilian culture each year. With over 600 dance enthusiasts dedicating an entire week to dancing in Prague, this congress has become a remarkable annual gathering.
