Testimonials

  • "Traveling to Carnaval with Silvana was one of the most incredible experiences I've had. Silvana's passion is contagious. I learned to dance from its roots to its modern expressions, fully immersed in Brazilian culture and spirit. The days were episodic bursts of dance and fun. I'm already counting the days until I can go back."

    Han

  • "Silvana has taken me to Brazil twice for Rio Carnaval, and both trips were nothing short of incredible. She organized everything from start to finish: parading with different samba schools, guided tours around Rio, dance workshops, and photo shoots in our costumes. She even helped us connect with local Brazilians in ways we never could have on our own. What makes Silvana the perfect person to travel with is how deeply connected she is to her culture. She knows the customs, the etiquette, and always makes sure our group can communicate smoothly in Portuguese, so we never feel lost or out of place. She handles every detail with so much care which makes the experience more enjoyable. I honestly don't think it would have been the same without her. Both trips were unforgettable, and I'm already counting down until I get to go back to Brazil with her again."

    Christina Barreto

  • "Silvana's Brazil trips are dynamic, fun, and truly life-changing! I am a 3-time participant in her dance immersion trips to Rio, and each experience has been exceptional. From start to finish, Silvana ensures every part of the experience is handled smoothly and safely. Whether you're parading in Rio Carnaval, sightseeing, looking for tickets to a dinner show, attending dance workshops, or doing a beach photoshoot, she handles all the details with care. She also takes the time to make sure the experience feels personalized, rather than one-size-fits-all."
