Body Territory: Between Brazil and Black Africa - Oficina de Passinho, with André Oliveira DB (RJ) - Open Enrollment

From the favelas of Rio de Janeiro to all over Brazil, Passinho is one of the forms of street dance battles and mixes elements of samba, frevo, funk and Angolan kuduro. The movements are frantic and the challenge is to create and evolve in time with the rhythm. For the workshop, the dancer will work on basic dance steps, such as sabará, scribble, ball, crusade and sequences, concluding the workshop with a choreography. André Oliveira DB is a dancer, teacher, choreographer, researcher and member of the Passinho Carioca Dance Company, Cia.Suave and of the groups Afro Black and Heavy Baile. As a competitor, he participated and was champion of the battles, Batalha de Titãs II, Batalha Rio H2K (2017/2018) and the Festival do Passinho (2017) and Desafio do Império (2018).
