ABOUT GABRIEL (he/him/his)Gabriel is a highly skilled and experienced dancer with a diverse background in various movement styles. He began his journey 15 years ago with Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and quickly fell in love with tango, studying at one of the best schools in Rio de Janeiro.
However, it was Brazilian Zouk that truly captured Gabriel’s heart, and he had the opportunity to learn from Renata Pecanha, one of the founders of this beautiful art form, at her school in Rio.
For the past 5 years, Gabriel has been professionally teaching and sharing his love of dance with others. He currently resides and teaches in Iowa City, but travels throughout the Midwest to teach weekly classes in Milwaukee, Minneapolis, and Des Moines. In addition to teaching in these areas, Gabriel has also started teaching nationally, sharing his passion and knowledge of Brazilian Zouk from DC to Chicago to San Francisco, and everywhere in between. He is passionate about sharing the beauty and depth of Brazilian Zouk with others, and loves being able to bring a piece of his culture to his classes.
ABOUT VERITY ROSE (she/her/hers)
Originally from the Pacific Northwest, she started dancing at a very young age. In 2011, latin dancing captured her heart, and in 2019 she was introduced to Zouk and fell in love with the art.
She moved from Nebraska to Iowa in 2021 to train in Brazilian Zouk. In 2022, she took on the role of “director” for Iowa Zouk. In April 2022 she founded V Rose Productions to bring events to Iowa to help grow and develop the community. She has produced 13 Brazilian Zouk events since July 2022 and aims to expand to other styles of social dancing. She hopes to introduce this dance to as many people as possible across the Midwest and beyond.
