Leonardo Brito started dancing at the age of 14 in his hometown of Saquarema in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Inspired by a group of dancers performing at a holiday party, he was invited to drop into one of their jazz classes and immediately fell in love with dance. He trained at Escola Estadual de Dan\u00e7a Maria Olenewa, Centro de Artes N\u00f3s da Dan\u00e7a, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Miami City Ballet School, and The Ailey School. Brito has performed with companies such as the Mariinsky Ballet (during the company\u2019s tour in Rio de Janeiro in 2014), N\u00f3s da Dan\u00e7a, the company of The Municipal Theater of Rio de Janeiro, Emotions Physical Theater, As Arts NY Dance, Dance Theater of Florida, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater (in Memoria<\/em> in 2017), and Ailey II. He joined Ballet Hisp\u00e1nico in 2020. Brito was awarded the III Brazilian Modern Dance Congress, and he has performed works by Robert Battle, Jennifer Archibald, Troy Powell, Jae Man Joo, Darrell Grand Moultrie, Amy Hall Garner, Melanie Futorian, Ray Mercer and Bradley Shelver. He has also made appearances in a Tommy Hilfiger Pride Campaign in 2019, OUT<\/em> Magazine’s May 2019 issue, and season two of the FX television series POSE<\/em>.<\/p>\n
