Amalia Mayer is one of the leading dancers and professionals in the industry, she is a nationally and internationally renowned professional, having won many international awards in this artistic field, and is internationally renowned for doing her presentations and workshops.
Amalia and her dancer partner are specialized in Zouk, Samba and Forró. Amália also studies tango a lot. Her unique skills, is that she has already given yoga classes to the company, I like this mixture because the professional understands the other's body better. And dancing is exchanged all the time. Learn all the time and that is the skills of Amalia that most impresses me the most. She is able to gather the techniques of different arts and teach in her own unique way that I have never seen.
It is important to bring the Brazilian dance to the United States. The country has a lot to develop with her art and with the art of other countries, especially the cultural enrichment that we have and we can show the world.
Amalia can convey complex ideas in a simple yet comprehensive manner. In her areas of expertise, which include close embrace dance, teaching the fundamentals of Brazilian Zouk, training for comfortable and safe social dancing, and educating about the culture and history of our dance, she is certainly one of the best in the world. Few professionals delve deeply into these subjects, and for this reason, she has my support and respect.

My name is Kiri Chapman, I am a professional dancer whose diverse career includes a professional ballet career with Tulsa Ballet, a stint as a member of the River North Dance company in Chicago, appearances on America's Got Talent, finalist in the World Salsa Open (PR) and Bachata Fusion.
World Champion in Albacete Spain. I lived in São Paulo and worked with my dance partner, renowned teacher and choreographer Jaime Aroxa.
Amalia’s has a unique skills and ability to teach, she gather and skills of Samba, Zouk and embrace with her unique aerial style, including not only ballroom dancing, but ballet, contemporary, individual dances, circus, acrobatics, theater. She has developed a different aerial work, because Amália is also a Yoga teacher, so the movements have a respect for the body that with my several years of experience, I have never witnessed.
I would like to reiterate how important and critical Amalia’s work was to our organization, as a professional dancer, because it is essential in the life of professional dancers to have a professional that makes unique choreographers, with a different vision and implementing different moves, helping us achieve an unique and creative dance, that has allowed us to grow even more our skills and earn more notability throughout the world.
In all the areas that I am professionally involved with, which includes workshops, competitions and presentations, it is of extreme importance to have the collaboration and partnership of the professional dancer Amalia Mayer I am very happy and humbled to have worked with such an extraordinary professional in all aspects of her work, talented, humane and ethical.
Her years of experience in Brazilian dances, as well as her knowledge of dancing and performing arts, make her a valuable asset to our dance studio.
She's a desirable addition to our studio in a much needed field. Her fluidity in foreign languages it's of great value to some of our students. And her vast knowledge on her native dance style, as well as her years of expertise, raises the value of any studio.
Amalia's aspiration in her personal and proffessional life, coupled wit her kindness to help those in need, be it in her field of expertise or outside of her comfort zone, makes her a unvaluable addition to any team.
We're a studio that focuses in sevaral dances around the world. Amalia is the only instructor in our field who teaches her style of Brazilian dances. We don't have another instructor who does.
Cuidado é a palavra que define o trabalho da Amália. Estava parado a mto tempo, sem me alongar e começando a ter dores nas costas. Essa professora teve mto cuidado e paciência para melhorar meu alongamento e as dores sumiram. Sempre com um sorriso no rosto e palavras de incentivo, Amália recheava suas aulas de yoga com mta energia e boas vibrações. Recomendo muito! Nota 10!
Hiring Amália to choreograph the dances for my daughter’s 15th birthday celebration was one of the best decisions we made. From the beginning, she proved to be an exemplary professional: charismatic, dedicated, and attentive to every detail. Amália not only crafted choreography that perfectly matched my daughter’s style and vision but also taught everyone involved with patience and warmth. Each dance was carefully planned, transforming these moments into a show-stopping highlight of the event.
Amália’s presence made all the difference, elevating the experience and creating unforgettable memories for everyone there. She has a gift for turning every movement into something beautiful, bringing elegance, grace, and heartfelt emotion. I wholeheartedly recommend Amália’s work, confident that she will make any event unique and memorable.
Foi muito gratificante ter aulas com a Amália. Com uma técnica muito boa, em pouco tempo direcionou meu alongamento para um estágio que jamais achei que fosse capaz. Recomendo!
Sou aluna da Amália desde 2020, a partir da pandemia. Não a conheço pessoalmente ainda mas adoro as aulas dela. Ela é bastante atenciosa, corrige as minhas posturas mesmo sendo aulas online e o que mais gosto das aulas dela é não repetição. Cada aula é uma surpresa, uma aula é diferente da outra, muito diferente das outras aulas de yoga que já tive anteriormente, que todas eram iguais, toda aula tinha a mesma sequência.
Ter aulas com Amália é uma experiência de muito acolhimento! Tanto na dança quanto no yoga ela oferece um ambiente muito bom de paz e alegria, algo tão necessário nos dias de hoje. Recomendo demais!
Amália minha professora de Yoga há 3 anos. Ela é muito versátil pois além da Yoga, é bailarina e lutadora de jiu jitsu. Eu acho admirável ser uma pessoa assim!
My son recently had the pleasure of participating in an online waltz dance session led by the talented Amalia and I just had to share this experience!
Even though my son and his best friend who lives in Colorado were miles apart, Amalia created a wonderful atmosphere that made them feel connected and comfortable despite the distance. Her energy and enthusiasm were infectious right from the start. She took the time to explain the basic steps clearly and patiently, ensuring they both felt comfortable, whether they were dancing solo or in sync with each other.
What impressed me the most was her ability to break down the waltz into manageable parts. Her step-by-step approach allowed them to learn at their own pace and build on their confidence throughout the session. She also introduced fun exercises that helped them understand the rhythm and flow of the dance, making the learning experience enjoyable and engaging!
The waltz dance was a part where my son danced with his best friend in her 15th birthday party banquet and the final result was stunning. It all came together at the end.
