Dancebrazil April 23, 2011

Direct from Salvador, Bahia, DanceBrazil is a stunning company of dancers, musicians and capoeristas, who celebrate the pulsating music and dance of Brazil. Vibrant and seductive, DanceBrazil has created an athletic style of movement which melds the energy of traditional capoeira with contemporary twists. Capoeira is the dance-like Afro-Brazilian martial arts form that first emerged among slave communities in Brazil in the 16th and 17th centuries. The richly colorful music and costumes, samba-inspired dance, and whiplash movement of capoeira - that is the glory of DanceBrazil.
