Andreza Jorge is a dance teacher who graduated from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. She is a dance artist and researcher focusing on popular dances, mainly Afro-Brazilian and Afro-Diasporic.
She is the co-creator of the dance project Mulheres ao Vento (Women at the Wind), in which she develops an artistic and choreographic work inspired by Orixá mythologies directed towards women.

Introduction to Afro-Brazilian rhythms will be an experiment on Afro-Brazilian corporeality and its rhythms, focusing on the movements of some specific cultural manifestations. These dance languages present strong characteristics of African rhythms of Bantu, Yoruba ethnic origin, and also South American Indigenous references. The workshop will be inclusive, introductory, and open to any audience willing to dive into a sensorial experience and many cultural mixtures that characterize the Brazilian dances and culture.
