Bio:
Liani was born and raised in Santos, São Paulo State (Brazil). My dancing journey started in my teen years at the Capoeira of Mestre Fabio Parada school, and my interest and identification with the Afro-Brazilian religion. Samba, for me, is a true passion. It’s my way of being connected to my roots and culture.
