Malandrinho do Samba

With a smooth step and a confident look, Jonathan De Oliveira Pereira brings 12 years of dance and 7 years of malandragem in his body.

A dancer from DaRuaLab, he turns the stage into a samba circle — where every move tells a story and every rhythm becomes expression.

More than just dancing, he lives the character — the Malandro who charms, respects, and represents.

Jonathan’s work mixes tradition and modern style, showing samba culture with elegance, strong presence, and respect for its roots.

His art celebrates the Malandro as a symbol of identity, expression, and the true spirit of Brazilian culture.
