Many years before, Vladimir was proposing an arm ballet workout to the American skaters team in New York. After this experience he created his R&B class mixing ballet to balance and strength training. Other russian presenters benefited from it introducing some of these elements in their classes. On the other side,Julio had been for quite some time presentinghis class called “Barre au sol”, inspired on his Strength and Stretch programs, and his Postural Gym Workouts which are based on corrective gymnastics for pelvic, back and shoulders, combining Kabat PNF techniques. He drew from his Physical Education and Physiotherapist background, as well as his studies from Pilates and Gyrotonic© methods.

All the elements were already in the air when both friends meet again in Sochi, in June 2006. Some months later, at the end of September,PortDeBras® session number 1 was born in Moscow. The first video shoots and pictures were done at that time.

At the present timePortDeBras® is the first exercise program worldwide registered in Russia in the past 18 years.Strong copyright laws protect the name and concept throughout the world.Only the instructors that have attended official PortDeBras® seminaries can teach that discipline in their daily classes.
