Occupation(s)Director, choreographer

Bruno Beltrão (born 19 September 1979 in Niteroi) is a Brazilian choreographer for integrating urban dance styles with conceptual theater. Since founding Grupo de Rua (GRN) in 1996, in 1996, Beltrão has explored abstract choreographic forms while transforming traditional hip hop movements.

Early life and education

Beltrão developed an early interest in film direction, influenced by his fascination with cinematic and 3D computer-generated imagery. He began his dance career at 13, attending local matinees in Niterói where he first engaged with hip hop. His formal dance training commenced in 1994 under Israeli teacher Yoram Szabo. By 1995, Beltrão started teaching street dance after his studies were interrupted.

Career

Beltrão co-founded Grupo de Rua de Niterói with Rodrigo Bernardi in 1996, initially focusing on competitive dance. Over time, the group's artistic direction shifted to include a broader range of hip hop expressions in their performances.

In 2000, Beltrão joined the dance faculty at the Centro Universitário da Cidade in Rio de Janeiro. His contemporary dance debut was in 2001 with the duet "From Popping to Pop" at Duos de Dança no Sesc in Copacabana. That same year, he also collaborated with Eduardo Hermanson to create "Me and My Choreographer in 63." Following Bernardi’s departure at the end of 2001, Beltrão took over as the sole director of Grupo de Rua.

His notable works include "Too Legit to Quit" (2002), "Telesquat" (2003), "H2" (2005), "H3" (2008), "Cracks" (2013), and "Inoah" (2017). Since 2002, the group has performed in over 30 countries across multiple continents.

Grupo de Rua has showcased Beltrão’s choreographic style in numerous countries including Portugal, Spain, France, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Croatia, Finland, Sweden, Italy, Scotland, England, Singapore, Canada, Argentina, Uruguay, Japan, South Korea, Morocco, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia, Syria, Chile, United States, Norway, Greece, and Hungary.
