Carvalho started out as a dancer in several prestigious dance companies in Brazil all the while working on his continuing education. As he received his University degree in physical education from UFMG, Leandro created a fitness program for Industrial giant Petrobras for their employees and trained thousands of policemen and firefighters. Shortly thereafter he was given the opportunity to come to New York and dance with the legendary Merce Cunningham, which was a dream come true. He continued his education in the United States, earning almost every personal-training certification that one can have from the AFFA, AEA, ACE and Pilates. Leandro also has extensive Yoga training and continues to further his education every chance he gets.
