Today dancing is a hobby and a pleasant pastime for many people from different countries. It is obvious that various dancing techniques differ in their origins. Capoeira has become a distinguishable type of dancing that originated from a martial art. Today capoeira is a mixture of dance, acrobatics and music that attracts a lot of dancers and viewers. A capoeira dancer wearing comfortable jazz pant can create an unforgettable performance that impresses a wide audience.
The history of capoeira goes back to the 17th century.
At that time many African slaves were taken to Brazil. They brought their music and culture to their new homes. It is worth noticing that music always played an important role in capoeira as it not only provided rhythm for performances but also brought joy to many viewers. Capoeira was not a simple dance as it included some techniques of martial arts. Two dancers, the attacker and the opponent, showed brilliant acrobatic moves that resembled a real fight and amused spectators. It is worth noticing that in the 19th century capoeira was prohibited. Some capoeira performers learned techniques of a martial art and even used them in some illegal activities.
It is important to note that this breathtaking dancing technique was legalised in 1937 when a man called Mastre Bimba founded the first school of capoeira. Later capoeira was proclaimed the National Sport of Brazil. It has become a part of Brazilian culture that may inspire a person to put on a comfortable jazz pant on and learn some exotic movements.
