Brazil is a very geographically and culturally diverse region. It's a surprise that most people don't think of cowgirls when they think of this country. The following cowgirl proves that she's got the attitude and the moves to be right at home on the ranch. 

Thays Monaro is a professional dancer, choreographer, and trainer from São Paulo, Brazil. She appeared in a 2018 video dancing to Gretchen Wilson's Redneck Woman with dancers Drama Lendário and Warlei Oliveira.

Thays Monaro is a country girl at heart. The São Pauloan frequently fills her social media channels with a hefty dose of horses, fresh air, and all things country living. She also posts country-themed dance videos to her channel.

In addition to life in the great outdoors, this country girl spends quite a bit of time dancing. In fact, she loves dancing so much that she's dedicated much of her life to it. Monaro is also a professional dancer, choreographer, and trainer.

When Monaro wanted to create a new routine, she reached out to Drama Lendário and Warlei Oliveira for assistance. These two professional dancers had the skill and energy needed to match Monaro's enthusiasm. Together, this trio created enough momentum to bring in over 2 million views on YouTube.

A special dance routine requires the right music. For this performance, Monaro chose Gretchen Wilson's Redneck Woman. This hit expressed the passion and power Monaro hoped to show through her dancing.

This performance was filmed on a ranch. In addition to these surroundings, the performers wore cowboy hats, jeans, and brown suede work shoes. Just from looking over the scene, you could see that they were ready to do some serious country dancing.

Of course, these dancers were far more than good-looking people clad in country-style clothing. They had tremendous dance talent and boundless enthusiasm for their performance. Be amazed at how flawlessly and seamlessly they blend their moves into this world-class country routine.

While you're watching the below video, you might ask yourself: How did this song get popular? And how did Gretchen Wilson come up with it? After all, Redneck Woman is a unique title — to say the least.

In an interview with Taste of Country, Wilson opened up regarding the track's origin story. Apparently, Wilson came up with the idea when she was with fellow country singer John Rich.

"The day that we wrote Redneck Woman was a day that John and I were sitting around watching country music videos and Faith Hill's 'Breathe' was on," Wilson told Taste of Country. "She's gorgeous. She looks like a supermodel. She's rolling around in satin sheets. And that was the inspiration behind 'Redneck Woman.' I looked at John and said, 'This is probably never gonna happen for me because I'll never look like that, and I'll never be that. That is just not the kind of woman I am.'"

Wilson continues, "He looked at me [and asked], 'Well, what kind of woman are you then?' And I said, 'I'm a redneck woman.' Then he said, 'What's the matter with that?' We, at that moment, decided to be as authentic as we could about that kind of a woman, and I felt like it was a responsibility almost at that point to speak to those girls who felt like me."

Wilson clearly struck a chord with Redneck Woman, which came out in 2004 on the country star's Here For the Party album. According to Taste of Country, the album sold 5 million copies, and Redneck Woman rose to number one on the charts in May of 2004.

"The reason why I became successful in the first place is I think women — and maybe some men — they accepted me because I was a voice that was speaking to them about them" Wilson added in the interview. "For a long time, I feel like in country music, women had gotten so slick and soft and pretty. So being authentic and being real, that is what got me to this dance."

This message certainly seems to resonate with Thays Monaro — and it shows. Watch the video below to see how Monaro takes Wilson's country hit and makes it her own with a stunning dance routine:
