On September 6, 2025, the Sr. Tecla Merlo Social Center in São Paulo, Brazil, was filled with beauty and emotion for the traditional Dancers’ Day celebration. This year’s event carried special meaning with the participation of a male dancer whose participation added depth to the event’s message of inclusion.
The performance, titled The Strength and Determination of Princesses, captivated the audience with choreography inspired by unforgettable characters like Snow White, Cinderella, Merida, Jasmine, Mulan, Belle, and Rapunzel. These weren’t just icons of beauty, but examples of courage, resilience, and belief in the power of dreams.
With elegant costumes, graceful dancing, and heartfelt expression, the dancers brought to life stories that go far beyond fairy tales, offering children a powerful message: like the princesses, they too can overcome challenges and believe in their dreams and aspirations with determination and hope.
The result was a breathtaking performance that moved families, guests, and all who attended. More than a simple presentation of classic dance, the event became a true celebration of art, perseverance, and the magic of believing in oneself. Once again, the Sr. Tecla Merlo Social Center affirmed its commitment to nurturing culture, inspiration, and dreams among children and youth.
