Born in São José do Rio Preto, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, Patrícia Lima Santos found dance not only a passion, but also the path to an international career. She found in America, and particularly in Los Angeles, more than a new home, but also a stage to fulfill her dreams as a dancer and actress.
Since the age of four, Patrícia has demonstrated an overwhelming passion for dancing, inspired by artists such as singer Beyoncé. Her love for movement was so evident that she danced freely at events such as the “Baile de Carnaval” for kids in her hometown.
As an adult, Patrícia turned her childhood dream into a concrete career and became a professional dancer. “I don’t think I chose it, I think it chose me; Dancing has been my passion since before I could walk,” she declares. With her profession, she has had the opportunity to travel the world, exploring different cultures through her art.
In 2014 she lived in South Korea, in 2015 in Russia (and returned to South Korea), in 2016 she spent time in Italy, and between 2016 and 2021 she was a resident of Dubai. “During my stay in Dubai I traveled a lot to Europe, such as Monaco, Croatia and Spain” Patricia tells us. In 2022, in Brazil, she obtained a visa to study in the USA and in August of this same year she landed in L.A.
She chose to move to Los Angeles for several reasons, but in particular, her passion for cinema and her desire to pursue her acting career. Where she could dedicate herself to achieving her goals by educating and dedicating herself to this passion.
In addition to her artistic career, Patrícia is known for her active routine and healthy habits. “I
train 2 to 3 times a week, and between my workouts, I also take dance classes twice a week, when I’m not too busy,” she details. The Brazilian actress and dancer also highlights the importance of running in her life. “It’s like my therapy and I alternate it with my training at the gym. I like to run early in the morning for at least 30 minutes”, says Patrícia.
Regarding romance and love life, Patrícia thinks about her future realistically and does not seek perfection in a partner. We asked her what her perfect type of man would be and she says, “We all have flaws and things we need to work on. An ideal partner would be someone who is mature, kind, honest and hard-working.”
In the rest of her free time, the dancer/actress loves going to the cinema (yes, she is a complete film buff) and visiting new places. “I find it super exciting to discover new places and/or new cultures. A trip to Brazil that I haven’t taken until now (Jan 2024) and is on my list is the island of Fernando de Noronha, located in northeast of my native Brazil. As for Europe, on my list I have Switzerland” she tells us.
The 1.69m tall Capricorn has purple as her favorite color and loves Feijoada (Brazilian), Enchiladas (Mexican) and Pasta Carbonara (Italian). With a clear vision for the future, she aims to continue striving to support herself as an artist, achieve a stable income and continue improving her skills in both dancing and acting.
