Sofia began dancing at the age of 5, combining dance, singing, and stage performance from an early age. She received a five-year university scholarship in Social Cultural Service & Tourism, during which she participated in ballroom competitions and cultural events across Eastern Russia.
Alongside her studies, she worked as a dance teacher, teaching children and teenagers aged 5–16.
After moving to China in 2010, she learned Chinese and expanded her artistic training. In 2012, she relocated to Shanghai, performing as a singer and dancer in a live band, gaining extensive stage experience. She trained in jazz, modern dance, hip-hop, and Latin styles, and performed professionally across more than 200 cities in China, participating in commercial events, stage productions, and brand promotions.
Her performance portfolio includes collaborations with Royal Caribbean (Quantum of the Seas), Buick, Museo Restaurant, and the music video "Amo y Mendigo."
In 2017, Sofia transitioned into social partner dance, focusing on Brazilian Zouk, Bachata, Kizomba, and Salsa.
Fly began his dance journey at the age of 17 in Brazil, training in Axé, Samba, Samba de Gafieira, Forró, and Brazilian Zouk. In 2001, he joined a Brazilian musical band and toured nationally, marking the beginning of his professional career.
In 2004, Fly became an international artist, joining a Brazilian dance team on a six-month nationwide tour across China, performing in more than 160 cities. A second national tour followed in 2006. Since then, he has continued performing, teaching, and choreographing internationally across Asia and Europe.
With over 20 years of professional experience, Fly is recognized for his technical clarity, musical interpretation, and ability to connect traditional Brazilian dance culture with contemporary fusion styles.

Within 3 months I was already social dancing confidently. The instructors are patient, professional, and genuinely passionate about what they do.
The Brazilian Zouk classes here are exceptional. I've trained in Brazil and Europe — the quality here in Shanghai is absolutely on the same level.
I was looking for a real Kizomba community in Shanghai and found it here. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the music selection is amazing.
