Tainah Damasceno began dancing at the age of 3 with her mother, BrasArte founder Conceicao Damasceno. From age of 6 to 14 she studied classical ballet including 5 years at the San Francisco School. Reconnecting with her roots she began studying Brazilian folkloric and contemporary dances under various master teachers.
