Isaac Douglas has been lighting up Brazilian dance floors for 20 years with his special ability to create a joyful, yet focused learning environment. In addition to teaching details and techniques in his classes, Isaac Douglas wants his students to discover their own bodies and movements.

He teaches, among others, Samba de Gafieira, Samba no Pé, Soltinho, Forró, Salsa, Zumba, Zouk, and Bolero. Isaac Douglas began his dance career at age 12 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Over time, he learned from several famous dancers, such as Carlinhos de Jesus, Carlos Bolacha, Sheila Aquino, and Marcelo Chocolate, and worked alongside them. In 2010, Isaac Douglas even participated in the album Acesso by Alcione, one of Brazil's greatest singers.

Since 2012, Isaac Douglas has been taking his passion around the world – he has performed in Japan, Argentina, and the United States, among other places. With his company “Felicidança” (founded in 2022 in Mannheim, Germany), he brings the joy of Brazil to several European countries, including Portugal. Now he is here for you – come and enjoy a contagious Samba experience and unforgettable moments of dance!

This will be Isaac’s first year with TIPDI and we are super happy to have him!
