Silvia Pantoja was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro and now lives in Brazil’s largest city, São Paulo. She began dancing in her late 20s, initially studying cabaret and tribal fusion belly dance before transitioning to FCBD® classes. The year 2025 marks her 13th year as an FCBD® learner and dancer.
Since the beginning of her journey, she has been a student of Aline Muhana (Certified Studio®) and is a proud member of Muhana's dance troupe, Zaman Tribal. She has been teaching FCBD® classes for the past six years.
Encouraged by her teacher to learn from different instructors, Silvia has seized numerous opportunities to study with various teachers in Brazil and abroad.
This dedication led her to complete the GS and TT courses in San Francisco in 2019, and later, in 2024, the TfT and ATT programs.
As a Certified Studio® and proud ATT graduate, she strives to keep her technique on point and share the joy of dancing with her students and friends while maintaining the integrity of the format.
She cherishes being part of the FCBD® community and values the opportunity to learn from fellow dancers while immersing herself in the art of dance.
