Thalhe Festival

A moment beyond the stage. ✨

One of our dancers shares what it feels like to be part of the Thalhe Festival Gala, the experience, the connection, and the story behind the performance.

Every dancer has a story.
This is one of them. 🖤✨

A very special thank you to Lu Fernandez, our Thalhe Festival Ambassador in Brazil 🇧🇷✨

Founder of Ballet aos 60® and creator of Aulão do Bem, Lu began her own ballet journey at 60 and turned that dream into a beautiful movement, inspiring adults to discover that dance has no age limit.

Her work has brought together hundreds of people through ballet, inclusion, community and purpose, reaching incredible spaces such as the Theatro Municipal do Rio de Janeiro. With the legendary Brazilian ballerina Ana Botafogo as godmother of Aulão do Bem, Lu continues to open doors and challenge the idea of who gets to call themselves a dancer.

And that is exactly why having Lu representing Thalhe Festival in Brazil means so much to us. 🖤

Lu, thank you for your beautiful video, for receiving our little gifts with so much love, and especially for believing in what Thalhe represents.

Two movements, one belief:

Dance belongs to everyone. At every age. In every body. ✨

From Brazil to Sarasota, we are so proud to have you as part of the Thalhe family. 🇧🇷🇺🇸
