IX MOVE

Born and raised in Salvador, Bahia, Ingride Banzo discovered capoeira at age 11 as a source of healing and empowerment. From those transformative early experiences, she built an international career as a dancer, educator, and cultural ambassador. Today, Ingride is the founder of IX Experience, bringing global participants to Brazil for immersive Carnival training, and creator of Unidos Atlanta, the first samba school in Atlanta. Through authentic Samba, Afro-Brazilian dance, and capoeira instruction, she bridges Brazil and the world, sharing the transformative power of ancestral movement traditions with students across the globe.
