Paulo was born in Angola and arrived in Portugal when he was twelve years old. Like for many Angolans, the music and rhythm are in his blood. Paulo started dancing Kizomba at the age of fifteen, when he began to attend many local African Dance parties in Lisbon.
Lanna was also born in Angola and started to dance traditional African dances when she was just eight years old. Then at the age of eleven years old, she moved to Lisbon, Portugal to continue her education.
