Watch Ballroom Dancer get "Made" on MTV's website

Valentin Mirosh and Joana Cardoso on Made Toronto Dance instructor Valentin Mirosh trained Oakville teenager Joana Cardoso at Viva Dance for the MTV reality series "Made", a show about making dreams come true. In just four weeks Joana Cardoso was "Made" into a ballroom dancer. You can watch the entire episode on MTV's website here!

During past seasons, each episode of MADE followed one willing candidate as they embarked on a mission to transform their life. Whether it was becoming a varsity football player, the homecoming queen or a cheerleader, each teenager dreamed of breaking out of their shell and finding out what they were really made of and what they could achieve when given the tools and training. Read an aticle about the show here.
