Carisma Dance
Redwood City, Calif.
Isabel De Montiel is a trained dance instructor that believes a sound personal image consists of not only a sharp appearance, but also a healthy body, mind, and soul in order to pursue our goals.
As a native Brazilian, she understands the significance of ensuring that Samba is accessible to individuals of all fitness levels, body types and communities. This entails dismantling the conventional notions of what constitutes a “typical” Samba dancer and fostering a more diverse environment that emphasizes fundamentals and technique.
Co-director: Cristina Montiel
