Leonardo Neves

Leonardo Neves discovered his passion for dancing at an after-school program when he was just 8 years old. Over the next 6 years, he attended various dance schools, studying Bolero, Soltinho, Samba, and Forro.

At the tender age of 14, he was accepted into Renata and Adilio’s dance school. Here, he spent 7 years studying Zouk and other Brazilian styles of dance under these recognized pioneers of modern Brazilian Zouk. During this time, he performed with the school at numerous events, congresses, and theaters. One of his early career highlights was winning 1st place with Vanessa Ferreira at the 'Onda Zouk' competition.

From 2009 to 2012, he toured throughout Brazil and internationally with Layssa Liebscher. Together, they taught, performed, and competed in many events.

The beginning of 2013 marked the start of Leo and Becky's dance partnership. They quickly gained recognition as some of the most exciting, talented, and professional Zouk instructors in the world.
