He has danced with the National Ballet of Mozambique, the National Dance and Singing Company, and with the Hodi Maputo Afro-Swing company.  Currently, he dances and teaches swing and afro-swing dances and traditional dances from Mozambique in Geneva, Europe and at international festivals.

When Carlos discovered swing dances, he immediately loved these Afro-American dances which mix African and European origins to express all the richness of jazz music. Carlos likes to bring jazz dance back to its roots, mixing it with traditional dances from Mozambique.

Dance is the expression of music and its moving rhythms and it is  this energy that he transmits on stage and in his classes.
