Luciana has been a professional ballet dancer for 19 years.

She studied at the Bolshoi School in Brazil and danced professionally in Boston Ballet, American Ballet Theater in New York and is currently a soloist dancer at StaatsBallett Berlin. 

​

Luciana found Pilates back in 2008 when a back injury took her off the stage for a couple of months. 

 

Pilates got her back stronger than ever and since then it has been with her through her whole career helping her through minor injuries, pain and strengthening her body to cope with the physical demands that dance requires as well as her well-being. 

​

Soon to retire from the stage, Luciana studied and has been trained by Deborah Degano at Berliner Pilates and has received her certification as a STOTT PILATES Instructor in Matwork and Reformer.
