Event Logistics Specialist

Hi, I’m Nelly Caldeira - a Brazilian Zouk instructor and Personal Transformation Coach from Brazil, now based in the Bay Area, California, who helps social and professional dancers align their passion with their life's dreams and responsibilities so they can live a life that's sustainable, successful, and meaningful.
For the past six years, I’ve been helping my dance clients improve not just their dance experience, but also improve their relationship with themselves, their lives, and their careers.
I combine my experience as a professional dancer with my training as an NLP Master Coach and other powerful modalities—including mental & emotional release therapy, non-violent communication, energy work, and the Enneagram—to help dancers break free from old patterns, overcome the mental and emotional blocks that hold them back, proudly embrace who they are today, and design a future they feel inspired to step into.
I’m on a mission to help social dancers and competitors like you prioritize what matters most, so you can experience a more successful and meaningful dance and life. When you work with me, I’ll guide you to look beyond technique and performance to uncover the root cause of what’s holding you back. More than just identifying the problem, I help you transcend pain, rewrite your story, and step into your fullest potential.
I believe social dance is one of the most powerful mirrors for personal growth—it reflects our fears, values, and desires, while giving us space to practice courage, discipline, and self-expression. Competitions and social dancing, to me, are not just about results or recognition; they are opportunities to transform how we show up for ourselves and others in this world.


My 1:1 coaching program may be right for you if you:
• Feel anxious, insecure, or overwhelmed in dance or competition settings.
• Struggle with the mental and emotional side of Jack & Jill competitions or social dancing.
• Want to feel more confident, clear, and grounded in your next steps in dance and life.
• Are looking for a better balance between your love of dance and your life responsibilities.
• Wish to build more meaningful connections and a stronger sense of belonging in your community.
• Want support aligning your dance goals with your bigger life vision.


Whether through one-off clarity sessions or an ongoing coaching program, I offer a safe, structured, and inspiring space for you to grow as both a dancer and a person—without burning out or losing sight of what matters most.
