S5 E4: Ana Maria Campos

Ana Maria Campos is a Royal Academy of Dance teacher from Brazil. She has travelled widely and lived in several different countries – dance and dance teaching are wonderfully portable skills. As an RAD examiner, she also visits dance schools all over the world – how does she calm the nerves of young dancers and help them give their best? And as someone who has dedicated their career to dance and helping others dance, she will know better than most why dance matters.

Ana Maria Campos grew up in Brazil, training as a dancer with Ilara Lopes and Jorge Pena. She graduated as a teacher from the Royal Academy of Dance in London, receiving the Karsavina and Philipe Nind Awards, and also holds a degree from Durham University in Ballet Teaching and Contextual Studies. Now based in Brazil, she is now a Mentor, Tutor and Examiner for the RAD.
