Here’s a soothing image I found on Brazil Max a.k.a “The Hip Gringo’s Guide to Brazil.” This capoeira in the mud shot is more than fanciful dance/martial arts on
the beach, but a way of life for some. Jelon
Vieira, capoeria master and founder of DanceBrazil (world-class dance company based out of NY), celebrates the
25th anniversary this year. Along with the celebration comes a documenatry by Bahian filmmaker, Gustavo
Moraes who follows five young teenagers preparing to join DanceBrazil over a two year period. The article has
quite a bit of flavor and is worth a read if you’d like more info on the doc, capoeira or Mr. Vieira. Go directly

1st in New York.
