Excerpted from the website description:
- Capoeira is a unique style of dance, a martial art combined with acrobatic movements and music, an elegant yet physically powerful form of body expression that began 500 years ago during Brazil’s slavery era. As the slaves in Brazil began to revolt, tribes who were once strangers or enemies in Africa suddenly found themselves united to fight for a common goal. New communities were formed as people shared and learned from each other’s cultures, rituals and traditions. Capoeira was born through a synergy of these energies and ideas and through a shared hope for a brighter day. This form of celebration through dance became a symbol of unity, and essentially became their weapon, heir symbol of freedom.
