Brazuca Fitness is a dance and fitness program created by André Cruz — choreographer, dancer, and fitness trainer, born in Brasília in 1979. With a career rooted in dance and movement, he transformed his passion into innovative fitness programs such as Brazuca Fitness, Maculelê Workout and BPower.
He discovered dance at the age of 14 and began his professional journey in 2000 as a choreographer and lead dancer with the renowned Circo Lidia Togni. Since then, he worked as a trainer and choreographer in Italy, where he created new disciplines such as Lambaxé and Tribal-Gym, presented in 2006 on the Crunch stage at the Florence Fitness Festival.
His energy and vision soon brought him to the international fitness scene, participating in major events like Rimini Wellness and FIBO and representing Brazilian dance and fitness culture in more than 25 countries around the world.
Brazuca Fitness is an explosive mix of dance and fitness:
- Classic gym movements,
- Afro and tribal rhythms,
- Brazilian and Afro-Brazilian dance styles, movements inspired by martial arts and folklore such as Capoeira and Maculelê.
A small touch of music enriches the experience, but the true essence is the combination of movement, expression and training.
The result? An intense, dynamic, and above all, funny workout.
Our Fitness programs include:
- Maculelê Workout – A traditional combat dance transformed into a high-energy workout using sticks and dynamic choreography.
- Capoeira – Fluid and athletic movements blending dance, fight, and acrobatics to build strength, balance, and control.
- BJump – A high-intensity program on the trampoline with explosive jumps and choreographed moves to improve endurance and toning.
- BPower – A discipline focused on muscular strength and conditioning, using resistance training to shape and define the body.
- Dança (coming soon by 2025) – A new project for dance lovers: dynamic choreographies that combine aerobic and musical fitness with a Brazilian soul.
