A dança foi uma paixão tardia na vida do engenheiro Luiz Carlos de Lima Valença, de 52 anos, que trabalha como facilitador de clima da Gerência de Logística da BR Distribuidora, no Edihb, e é dono de uma academia de dança de salão na Tijuca. “Eu tinha muito prazer em dançar. Quanto mais praticava, mais queria dançar”, conta Luiz Valença. Seus ritmos prediletos são o samba, o bolero, o forró e o soltinho. Passar de aluno a professor foi mais uma vez obra do acaso. As pistas de dança ganharam tamanha importância na vida de Luiz Valença que ele planeja dedicar-se exclusivamente à academia na aposentadoria.

Capoeira Angola, an ancient martial art of African origin, is one of the many cultural weapons used to break the chains of enslavement in Brazil. Played close to the ground, Capoeira Angola combines fluid, dance-like movements with kicks, head butts, tripping sweeps and the appearance of playfulness or vulnerability. Music is played on traditional instruments to accompany the players, to teach the rhythmic heart of the art, and also to mask its power. In the eyes of the enslavers it appeared to be a joking and playful acrobatic dance, but eventually its power was realized and Capoeira was outlawed. Death was the penalty paid by those caught playing Capoeira during the slavery era. For almost 400 years Capoeira Angola was taught and practiced in secret, and only in the 1930's did this African martial art become legal to teach and practice.
