The Teachers
Lucas Dumont started to dance forró in 2006, when he was only 14 years old, and graduated from Pé Descalço in 2009. He became a teacher at the same school straight away. At Pé Descalço, he participated in many groups and has many roles – coordinator of the examiners group, branch director, member of the performance group and most recently, instructor of the teachers group. Lucas has also learned other ballroom dances, like samba and zouk among others, further increasing his dance knowledge. He has taught all over Brazil, and internationally in over 15 countries. Lucas believes in the diversity of dance, always studying to open more possibilities and improving the communication between the couple dancing and the music, building a complete bond between these 3 elements.
Alice Rodrigues started to dance forró in 2011 at Pé Descalço. Three years later, she became part of the team at PD, where she teaches to this day. Over the years, she earned her Red Necklace (the highest level within Pé Descalço), became an examiner and joined the PD official performance group. Alice has taught workshops at numerous important festivals in Brazil and run courses for teachers in Brazil and abroad (online). She also studied other dances such as samba de gafieira, zouk, west coast swing and pole dance, which have all enriched her current techniques. Alice has developed teaching methods for both followers and leaders, from functionality, musicality and complexity to more subjective topics such as personal expression. Her expertise is mainly in forró universitário, but also more recently in roots.
