I have known Paulo Arrais for a year as my daughter's ballet teacher and it's been a pleasure to watch him teach my daughter. He is responsible, disciplined and extremely talented. He has worked hard to instill in her the same kind of passion and knowledge he has for ballet. He is working hard to improve the kid's abilities everyday. He is overall a genuinely kind, caring and talented teacher, who loves to share his knowledge and motivate the kids to learn ballet.

Paulo is hard-working, brilliant, reliable, responsible, open-minded, and communicative. The product he offers–his teaching–sets him far ahead of the pack. He is a team player, but also a good leader. And he is the singular teacher and mentor my daughter can point to and say my growth blossomed because of his teaching. She told me recently,
“I would gladly work with him anytime. Every time he shows up with the biggest smile and makes hard work exciting. I know with his expertise he will shine in whatever he decides to do can’t wait to see what he will do on the future!"
"Brilliant."
Participating in the Arrais Ballet Pop Up Intensive helped me prepare for my upcoming placement audition for college this fall. The program's unique blend of professional instruction, immersive learning environment, and personalized attention truly exceeded my expectations. Under the guidance of the exceptionally talented faculty, including the renowned dancer Paulo Arrais, I was able to refine my technique, explore new styles, and gain invaluable insights into the world of ballet.
