About Your Instructors
PEDRO AND ANA
Pedro Castro and Ana Reis are Brazilian Zouk World Champions, Jack and Jill All-Stars, and certified judges with the Brazilian Zouk Dance Council (BZDC). Their expertise runs deep: originally from Rio de Janeiro, they bring over two decades of combined dance experience spanning Contemporary, Jazz, and Classical Ballet. This broad foundation infuses their Zouk with a uniquely artistic, expressive, and precise style.
Before making their home in the USA, Pedro and Ana refined their approach at Alex de Carvalho’s Dance School in Brazil, developing a teaching style that’s both welcoming and inspiring. No matter where you’re starting from, they know how to make learning feel accessible, engaging, and genuinely fun.
As seasoned instructors who’ve graced premier Zouk festivals across Canada, the USA, Brazil, and Europe, Pedro and Ana bring world-class instruction right to your doorstep. Their dynamic performances, multiple podium finishes, and commitment to sharing Brazilian Zouk culture make them sought-after teachers. Whether you’re a newcomer or a seasoned dancer, studying with Pedro and Ana is an exciting opportunity to learn from two of the best in the field.
