I'm Lucas Galante, also known as Bboy Luka. Born in São Paulo, Brazil, In 1994, my journey began at age 4 when I discovered my passion for movement through Capoeira, a Brazilian martial art. At 12, I encountered Breaking, a dance style that sparked my voyage of self-exploration and personal development.

Breaking is a dynamic fusion of dance moves where B-Boys & B-Girls create rhythmic flow, blending intricate footwork, spins, freezes, and acrobatic power moves. In battles, we put our skills on display, responding to the music's rhythm and each other's movements.

This dynamic dance form is deeply rooted in urban culture, blending athleticism, creativity, and unique styles into a captivating expression of art.

I've had the privilege of captivating audiences on TV, competing on the global stage in intense breaking battles, performing at sports events and theater productions, and leading transformative workshops. But the true magic happened during my eight extraordinary years with Cirque du Soleil, where I discovered the profound connection between movement and storytelling.

Through these experiences, I found myself on a path of self-discovery and began to explore the inner world of a performer. This exploration wasn't just about dance; it was a deep dive into the realms of self, consciousness, and spirituality. During this time, my passion for movement and dance grew even more vital as I started to see how it intertwined with our thoughts, emotions, and physical expressions. This journey gave me a sense of purpose when I was searching for answers in my life. I questioned my goals and pondered the message I wanted to share.

I wondered how to take everything I knew about the body, movement techniques, and the human spirit to help others connect with their souls and spirits. In essence, this period marked a significant shift in my journey. It was a time of profound self-discovery, where I not only uncovered the intricate relationship between movement and the mind, but also found a deeper purpose in sharing this knowledge with others.

My vision

My vision is to create a harmonious fusion of self-discovery, purposeful movement, and cosmic connection within the Artluka experience. I believe that every step we take, whether on the dance or in our daily lives, should carry intention and meaning. This intentionality bridges the gap between self-expression and universal alignment, nurturing a sense of gratitude and unity with all living beings.
