    For more than 30 years, DanceBrazil has thrilled audiences throughout the world with a dazzling fusion of Afro-Brazilian culture, live music, contemporary dance and Capoeira, the African dance/martial arts form that evolved in colonial Brazil as a means of fighting enslavement. Enjoy the Philadelphia premiere of Dance like a Fight - Fight like a Dance, a sensuous, fast-paced new work that draws upon the ongoing dialogue of intense cultural rituals, followed by the revival of the hit work Batuke, a hard-driving piece exploding with the rhythms created by smooth samba steps, capoeira lethal kicks and the stick dance Maculel. Under the direction of Artistic Director Jelon Vieira, DanceBrazil will wow audiences with its crowd-pleasing style of high-octane, high-flying, pelvis swiveling choreography (New York Times) and its colorful costumes, acrobatic virtuosity and soul-stirring rhythms.
