Sofia Franco

​

Sofia has been dancing from a young age and has been teaching Middle Eastern dances and ATS® (now called FCBD® style) since 2006. She is an FCBD® Style Certified Studio since 2016 and was part of the ATS Friday Challenge team and was part of the sponsoring team for the TribaLX Festival, an international tribal and FCBD® Style Festival in Lisbon, Portugal.

 

Parallel to these styles, she started studying Hula in 2006, with Kumu Hula Rich Pedrina, from Halau Hula ‘O Nāpunaheleonāpua (based in Kaneohe and Hilo, Hawai’i) and the Hawaiian culture soon became another great passion. She’s been teaching Hula since late 2007 and is currently an official member of the Halau Hula ‘O Nāpunaheleonāpua, and part of a Kumu Class (teacher training) under guidance of Kumu Rich, alongside other dancers and teachers from all over the world, who wish to carry on the style of their Hula lineage.
