Capoeira Dancers

Capoiera is a Brazillian art form halfway between dance and a combat game. During the game two players exchange movements in a constant stream. A real crowd-pleaser.

Capoeira is a Brazilian art form involving movement, music and elements of philosophy. At the heart of the discipline is ritualized combat ‘played’ as a game. This is known as jogo de capoeira or simply jogo. During the game two players (capoeiristas) exchange movements of attack and defence in a constant stream, like a conversation. It is important that they observe the rituals and proper manners of the art. The players both attempt to control the space and the game by confusing the other with feints and deceptive moves.
