    Deborah Colker Cia. de Dança, South America
  Rua Benjamin Constant, 30 - Glória - Rio de Janeio, RJ            
Fazendo os espetáculos pelas estradas afora, comecei a perceber que precisávamos poder estabelecer outras formas de comunicação com o público: formas de conhecimento, de troca de experiência. Precisávamos de uma escola. Nesta escola queremos pensar movimento, experimentar movimento, disciplinar, conscientizar, respirar e sensibilizar o corpo que pensa, muda, sente; que dança. Sempre acreditei na criatividade e irreverência. A concentração, disciplina, formação e o foco são a base e a possibilidade criativa de qualquer indivíduo.
A escola oferece cursos em todas as áreas relacionadas ao movimento, além das aulas de teatro, filosofia, anatomia, história da dança e eventos como exposições de artes visuais, leituras e recitais de música, integrados a dança num esforço de ampliar o horizonte dos nossos alunos.
Todo mês de janeiro e julho o Centro de Movimento Deborah Colker inclui em sua grade uma colônia e cursos especiais. A intenção da colônia de férias é ser uma escolinha de arte, oferecemos diversas atividades corporais integradas ao teatro, a dança, a música e as artes plásticas.

Fábio Venturini começou a traçar seu rumo profissional estudando balé clássico e dança contemporânea, fazendo parte da Cia. de Dança Compasso do coreógrafo e bailarino Raimundo Branco, da Cia. Trapiá de Dança e do Balé Popular do Recife. Na década de 80 descobriu a dança de salão.

Conheceu, então, Jaime Arôxa, que ficou impressionado com a performance de Venturini e o convidou para vir ao Rio de Janeiro e fazer parte de seu staff de bolsistas. Em 1998, começou a ministrar aulas em uma pequena sala comercial no Leblon. Inaugurou sua própria academia em 11 de setembro de 1999.

    Alexandra Beller/Dances, North America
  30 St. Felix Street #1D - Brooklyn, NY            
<iframe id='palyer18' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/?listType=user_uploads&list=alexandrabeller'></iframe id='palyer18'>
Alexandra Beller/Dances is an ensemble of highly skilled dancer/actors working on the edge between dance and theater. Rich with personal revelations, performances attempt to move, stimulate, impassion and incite the audience. Ripe with metaphor, abstracted narrative and controversial ideas, the dances traffic through the dangerous territory of homophobia, sexism, and emotional isolationism. The company seeks to intersect distinctions between races, nationalities, sexual orientations and political affiliations through a series of artistic collisions. The creations are a truly unique hybrid form, where speaking and moving are essential forces in the creation of meaning. Dances often pay homage to great writers and fertile landscapes of words are often used to create a sense of place, time and relationship. Movement is a key to the startling, idiosyncratic and mysterious information that resides in the body.
