Traditional Brazilian Dances Classes

The classes are focus in searching the spirit of Brazil, the Brazilian movement based on race mixing of Brazil. A class where each meeting is a cause for celebration, where freedom of movement is the key word and diversity of dance reflects the roots of the people “Brazuca”, not to mention opportunity to “Caetano, Buarque, Gil, Gal, Elis” and other voices the musical world as blessed by God. Brazilian Dances classes are much more than a method of dance, is a contemplation of the united tradition of what is most current at the Brazilian, so relax and playful, put aside the stress of the day to day, fraternizing with the expression in the body leading to an energy joy and relaxation.
