She has undeniably fought to make her dream come true and even owns a degree in dance from the University of Campinas (Unicamp) in São Paulo, Brazil.

Thankfully, Bianco is gradually eradicating these restrictions, urging that dancing shouldn’t just be seen as a profession but as something that can also be done by plus-size people and for pleasure or fun.
