Jully is a native of Olinda, Pernambuco in the north-east of Brazil, the home of maracatu. We are very lucky to have her as our dancing instructor as she brings with her a wealth of experience and expertise in maracatu dance and costume design. She was part of Toque Leoa, Maracatu Nação Pernambuco, and Balé Cultural de Pernambuco.

Her dancers are always immactulately turned out and wow the crowds wherever they go, be it the streets of Oxford on May Morning or the Notting Hill Carnival.

Jully's skills are high in demand and she often collaborates with Maracatu Estrela Do Norte in London.

Her classes are fun and open to complete beginners as well as more experienced dancers - of both sexes!

She has even been known to show Peter Andre a step or two on ITV!
