Palavras do Mestre Toni Sá: “Em nossa dança de salão não há regras que digam o que é certo ou errado, então, temos que nos basear pelo bom gosto, contudo há uma obrigatoriedade incontestável, o ritmo. Tudo é nada sem ritmo. Por mais e melhores passos que o casal use, com toda elegância e suavidade, se estiverem fora da música estarão errados. Um dito popular que se aplica perfeitamente neste nosso caso é: “tem que se dançar conforme a música”. Não é a orquestra que deve acompanhar o dançarino(a), e sim o contrário.”

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.
