KIKO GUARABYRA BROADWAY DANCE

Kiko é um bailarino nato e carioca da gema, melhor definindo um bailarino da gema, pois sua versatilidade começou a despontar ainda criança e já adolescente deixava plateias boquiabertas com sua perfeição técnica e virtuosismo. Foi nesta época que Ney Matogrosso se encantou com este artista e o convidou para uma série de shows pelo Brasil afora. Na busca de seu próprio estilo e da definição da sua preferência pelo Jazz Dance, Kiko aprimorou seu talento nato com muitos e renomados professores do circuito Brasil – sua dança o levou ao redor do mundo, tendo lecionado aulas e Workshop para profissionais em Milão, Itália, Estocolmo, Suécia e Los Angeles. Realizou uma apresentação especialíssima para o rei do Marrocos e trabalhou com mestres como Otis Salid (Smokey Joe’s Café), Claude Thompson (A Cor Púrpura), Dennon Rawles (Os Embalos de Sábado à Noite) e Scott Grossman (Miss Universe Coreographer).

Kiko Guarabyra is a dancer to his core, or as they say in his native Brazil, a “dançarino da gema”. In addition to his long career as a performer, he is also recognized as a gifted choreographer and an inspired teacher. His dancing has taken him around the globe, where he has taught Master Classes and Workshops in Milan, Italy, Stockholm, Sweden and in Los Angeles. He has performed by special request for the King of Morocco, and has danced for Otis Salid (Smokey Joe’s Cafe), Claude Thompson (The Color Purple), and Dennon and Sayhber Rawles (Staying Alive) in Hollywood, CA. As a choreographer, he has worked for internationally known companies such as Sony Entertainment, EMI, BMG Music, Varig Airlines and TV Globo. He was invited to create a show in honor of the President of UNICEF in Brazil, Renato Aragão, and most recently he was selected to choreograph a piece for Vale Do Rio Doce in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In Brazil, Kiko has worked extensively as both a dancer and choreographer for stage, film and TV. He choreographed the musicals dzi croquetes, comunitá, Constellation and Francisco de Assisi which toured throughout the country, and he has appeared in numerous television commercials for Brahma Beer, Lee Jeans and TIM, among others. As a teacher, Kiko offers a method that is all his own. The unique factor that he brings to his Master Classes and Workshops is his original style of movement, which incorporates classic American jazz dance and strong ballet technique, with the complex rhythms and sensuality that are integral to Brazilian music. Kiko currently resides in Rio de Janeiro, and is working on projects both there and abroad. He is involved with Geração Hip Hop, which brings dance expression to the disadvantaged youths of Rio´s ghettos.
