I grew up in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, in a family of six siblings. My mother worked as a cleaner, and my father as a lathe operator. My family could never help me financially with my plans. It was only thanks to the scholarship that I was able to follow the training. Today, I am a dancer in the Rosas company.

When I moved from Tunis to Brussels to study at P.A.R.T.S., I was 17 years old. Today, I travel the world as a dancer and choreographer, thanks to the scholarship I received. It is important to think together about ways to support young students, especially since the Covid19 pandemic. Knowledge and study should be a right for everyone, regardless of who you are and where you come from.

I literally had no money to come to Brussels. I remember asking at the audition what would happen if I was accepted, and the answer was: for P.A.R.T.S. it is important to choose the right people, not the people who can pay. If you pass the audition, we will find a solution. I received a scholarship from P.A.R.T.S. It completely changed my life.

Thanks to the scholarship I could fully benefit from the excellent training, work and research independently, concentrate on developing my competences, and take the necessary rest between intensive working periods. I still use the competences I developed at P.A.R.T.S. on a daily basis.

P.A.R.T.S. has given me so many tools and insights as a contemporary choreographer and dancer. I had the great privilege of receiving a scholarship to make this training possible. Without this support, I would never have been able to learn so much. It has paved the way for my development as an artist.
