Brazilian Copoeira Dancers

Capoeira was founded in Brazil and is a Brazilian martial art form .This breathtaking performance that combines self-defense, acrobatics, music, and singing is recognized as a genuine unique cultural expression of Brazil .

It originates from the Brazilian-African slave trade, where slaves were banned from practicing self-defense and therefore hid it with fluid, graceful dance-like moves.

An amazing group of highly skilled Capoeira performers will be performing sensational Afro Brazilian percussion rhythms, supported by full physical body movements and traditional instruments that are played by “Capoeiristas”, such as the “pandeiro" tambourine, "atabaque" drum and a "berimbau" which is a bow-like instrument.
