This dance was choreographed by Lucia Cordeiro in 2012 to six folk songs sung by Mariene de Castro (CD “Santo de Casa”). It is a kind of children’s play, done in circles and representative of Brazilian dances danced all over the country. It is also a collective dance performed by people of all ages and can be danced for hours. There are many variations to it, including the basic step, which imitates the waves of the sea, and the stamping of feet in front, which recalls the movements of indigenous native dances.

Presented in 2013 by Lucia Cordeiro. View the pdf here.
