What is the legacy of the genre/form/style you are teaching?
My teachings of Afro-Brazilian Dance contain dance movements, chants and storytelling of the history of traditional African Brazilian Culture and its fusion with Brazilian Native Indigenous roots. The series dive into spiritual and social approach, into sacred and secular, between traditional and contemporary of my Brazilian Culture.
What background, training, and or relationship do you have with this style/technique/class subject?
I have been practicing and performing many of sacred and secular movements of dances from my Indigenous African Brazilian Cultures for over 40 years. On the past 25 years several those traditional movements have been incorporated into my classes and choreographic projects, now more than ever I give my dance classes the approach as a Healing Arts. I bring the traditional movements from the deep level of practice, feeling, the understanding of their meanings throughout the contemporary format. This workshop series brings my ritualistic manner of teach-learn-perform dance.
Finish this statement: I am passionate about teaching this style because…
…it is my true self art form and my medicine.
