Clo

Claudia (Clo) Ferreira was born in Isla Margarita, Venezuela and, since the age of four, raised in New Jersey, USA. She began training with her brother Henri Velandia (Ry) at the age of 9 in all styles including Classical, American/Latin/Brazilian Ballroom, Latin Social such as Salsa, etc. Her styling, technique, and stage presence captured the respect of the salsa community at a very early age. In 2010 she found her new and current love, Brazilian Zouk. She has won competitions, performed in various venues world wide, has taught numerous workshops in multiple styles at dance congresses internationally, and has won her title as an International Choreographer. Her workshops, private classes, choreographies, and performances all focus on the natural flow and traditional rhythm of Brazilian Zouk, originally the Lambada, accompanied by the fundamentals of classical technique, Latin styling, and the elements that allow ones body to move freely and creatively across all styles of dance!
