"Dance Brazil’s thrilling, high energy movement aesthetic fuses modern dance, samba and capoeira, a form thought to have developed as a means of self-defense in the 16th and 17th centuries by African slaves. Forbidden to practice this martial art, the slaves disguised the form as dance, now common in parts of Brazil. Influenced by Alvin Ailey, who joined their board of directors in 1980, Dance Brazil tours nationally and internationally and has appeared at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC and Lincoln Center in New York, and was featured in PBS’s Alive From Off Center and Egg: The Arts Show." --Carolina Performing Arts Series
