Menina Fortunato

There's this myth that dance is somehow the short-lived career.

It's only going to last you a few years and then you're done and the industry spits you out.

But I hope that I'm living proof that you can have a family, you can be married, you can have three kids, you can build a seven-figure business, you can still be in the industry that you love, for me, which is dance, make a good living doing it and feeling fulfilled and traveling the world.

Menina Fortunato is a dynamic, accomplished, and globally recognized entrepreneur, former professional dancer, and mentor best known for building a global platform, empowering dancers to turn their passion into thriving careers.

Because at the end of the day, there's no other you on the planet.

And I would tell my younger self that you are unique, you are special, there is no other you out there.

Just really lean into that superpower, and that's when you really will find where you belong.

I find that talent, yes, is important, but it's only a part of the equation.

There's other aspects that they need in order to be successful.

I'm great.

I'm excited to be here.

The set is wild.

I love the theme and Rudy's mind.

I guess this is an extension of him.

And yeah, we got comic strips and all kinds of shoes.

Like I'm like, where do I look?

What am I supposed to focus on?

Yes.

Well, my full name, if you really want to go there, is Menina Damul Fortunato.

So it's, well, Menina means little girl in Portuguese.
