Hey there!

I’m Vlad Pereira, and my life is a whirlwind of dance, performance, creativity, and a whole lot of passion. I’ve spent years on stage as a professional ballet dancer, actor, drag performer, model, and producer, and when I’m not performing, I’m behind the scenes as a photographer and performing arts mentor. Basically, if it involves movement, storytelling, or a bit of sparkle—I’m all in!

How it all started

My journey started in classical ballet, training at Lina Penteado Ballet Academy in Brazil, Centro de Arte y Ballet in Mexico City, and Goh Ballet Academy in Vancouver. Along the way, I earned full scholarships, performed with some of the world’s top ballet artists from The National Ballet of Canada, American Ballet Theatre, and The Royal Danish Ballet, and lived the intense (but incredible) life of a professional dancer.

But as much as I love ballet, I’ve never been one to stay inside the box. My artistic curiosity led me to explore acting, drag, and various styles of performance art, where I found new ways to express myself. Drag, in particular, became a powerful extension of my artistry—bold, theatrical, and completely freeing. Whether I’m commanding the stage in pointe shoes or a killer pair of heels, my goal is always to captivate, inspire, and entertain.

The Art of Storytelling—On and Off the Stage

Beyond performing, I’m just as passionate about choreography, production, and creative expression. I’ve had the honour of producing and choreographing major Ballets like The Nutcracker and La Fille Mal Gardée, collaborating with world-class artists, full orchestras and bringing large-scale performances to life. There’s nothing quite like seeing a vision unfold on stage, knowing you helped make the magic happen.

And when I’m not performing or producing? I’m creating new makeup looks or behind the camera. As a photographer and model, I love capturing the raw energy of movement, the essence of an artist, and the beauty of storytelling through visuals. Whether it’s dance photography, fashion, or editorial work, I bring the same level of passion and creativity to every shot.
