Your Team

Unique to Rio Rhythmics has been its commitment to providing careers and extensive opportunities to dance teachers.

From locals who first started their dance journeys with us, to sponsoring and supporting many incredible teachers from Brazil and other parts of Latin America our team is one of a kind.
