Cultural dance events and educational opportunities continue to expand across Brazil, centered on the Bolshoi Theatre School Brazil and regional festivals.

In the states of Pará and Carajás, programming includes the 14th Eva Chaves Dance Festival in Marabá and professional performances and free workshops at the Theatro da Paz in Belém. These initiatives include auditions for the 2027 class.

Talent searches are progressing through various partnerships. In Ceará, an initiative facilitated by Diamante Energia allows children and adolescents to compete for spots in the school’s Classical Dance Technical Course. The top three performers from the regional stage receive travel and lodging coverage to participate in the national selection process in Joinville, with successful candidates potentially receiving full tuition waivers for 2027.

Recent successes in these selection processes include 16-year-old Bruno Kenay Roque, who was approved in his category, and Eduardo Silva from Belém. Silva, who trained through the Arte em Movimentos school and the DOM Social Project, has advanced to the final stage of the Bolshoi Theatre School selection process following a career of national and international accolades.
