tsunAMI Ferreira
Ami “Tsunami” Ferreira is a San Francisco, Bay Area native who has dedicated her life to sharing her passions of dance, movement, and art for over 30 years. A member of Circle of Fire and the SoulShifter Artistry Collective, Tsunami’s style derives from a fusion of house, hip hop, capoeira, ballet, roller skating and “b-girling” (breaking). In 2017, Tsunami received the Alameda County Arts Leadership Award for her community work in the dance and capoeira communities.
As a cultural diplomat and educator, she nurtures and supports Club Culture and the freestyle dance movement through performing, teaching, judging competitions, mentoring and co-organizing events, such as the R16 USA, All the Way Live, Bay Area House Dance Festival, and Simmer Room.
She has also traveled to Nepal, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Taiwan, and El Salvador to share her passions with underprivileged dance communities and at-risk youth.
Ami was on Next Level Team Myanmar.
