Still can’t believe this happened! Dancing at Still can’t believe this happened! 

Dancing at the Sambadrome with GRES Em Cima da Hora was surreal in the best way possible. Carnaval isn’t just a celebration - it’s history, culture, and heart. So grateful to be part of this moment! 💫🔥

Thank you @gresech for the incredible honor of representing your school! And a massive thanks to @gianneabbott @talita.tq @agitacarnaval for making it all happen. 😘

Açaí is the perfect pre-movement pick-me-up. It’s packed with antioxidants to fight fatigue, natural sugars for quick energy, and good fats to keep you fueled longer. Whether you’re dancing, training, or just powering through a busy day, this nutrient powerhouse has your back! 

💜 Grabbing my last açaí before hitting the Sambadrome tonight - let’s go! ✨💃🏽

Learning from a true Samba icon here in Brazil!  Such an amazing class! Obrigada @bellinhadelfim 🙏🏼♥️

Samba isn’t just a dance - it’s pure energy, joy, and therapy in motion. Research has long shown the powerful connection between movement and health, both physical and mental. And Samba? It’s the ultimate mood booster!

Dance is my therapy. What’s yours? ✨

48 hours in Brazil: No sleep, just Samba!🇧🇷🔥

Landed and hit the ground running - straight to Musa rehearsals, costume fittings, more rehearsals, shopping, samba classes and eating all the açai. 🥄💜

Brazil is relentless in the best way possible - music, movement, energy. Açaí has been my go-to, fuelling these long days (and nights) with its powerhouse of antioxidants. But, to be real, at this point, I think I’m running on pure adrenaline and samba beats. Someone send electrolytes.

One week to the official Carnaval parade!!💃🏽✨
