GEO

Geo is my artistic name, I'm here to introduce you to Geovanna. I came from Brazil, now living in Sydney.


I'm very proud of my life story, even if I felt scared many times about my decisions but at the end of the day, I'm extremely happy for living the life I chose to live. I started dancing with 3yo (Ballet and Jazz), I never stopped. My family and friends always supported me. But as I was getting old my parents started asking me for a solid career. I didn't understand what they meant by that because dancing was all about a solid life in my point of view. But they couldn't see it as I saw.


I was 19yo leaving my family, my friends, the conventional life to live my own life. That was it. I was moving to China.


To dance in a Theme Park with a Brazilian dance company.  I Was very scared, I couldn't look back anymore, I didn't know what was going to happen next, but I took the best decision of my life. And now I'm here, 15 countries later (It would be 24 countries by now if covid wasn't in the scene).


But I'm happier than ever, looking for amazing dancing opportunities like my first one!
