Born in southern Brazil in 1980, John Gaucho started to dance at the age of 10. His professional life as a dancer began when he was 14 years old, performing in shows, creating choreographies and teaching dancing classes.

Since then, he has built up a very consistent career participating in both national and international productions, always mixing in Boleadoras, folkloric ballet, tap, percussion, traditional music, electronic music and any other style that could improve his performance.

The United States, Argentina, France, Japan, Lebanon, Monaco, Paraguay, Uruguay, Germany and Romania are some of the countries where he has already shown his work as well as more than 300 cities throughout Brazil.

Since 2006, John is performing in the most traditional folklore company in Brazil, the “Plataforma” in Rio de Janeiro. In this company, John becomes the show's main attraction, which is performed daily for an audience of 500 people from all over the world.

Performing in Rio and on tours around the world, John Gaucho is completing 1800 career shows this year .
