BRAZILIAN BEAT

Over the five days of Brazilian Beat, there will be nightly performances featuring some of the world’s finest exponents of Brazilian dance – dancers and dance companies from both Brazil and Canada. There will be a dance contest for advanced amateur dancers, a free seminar on preparing for dance performances and, in addition, there will be fourteen hours of instruction at dance workshops led by trained dance professionals over the course of the event. Every evening will finish with a dance party, a chance to practice new skills and to socialize with others in the Brazilian dance community.

Again this year, Brazilian Beat will feature an outstanding lineup of performers and dance instructors. Among these will be Renata Pecanha, “The Queen of Zouk”, from Rio de Janeiro, and Thiciane Fortes, also from Brazil. Other inspirational dance professionals will be coming to Toronto from the United States, from Montreal, and from Quebec City to make this year’s celebration bigger and better than ever before.

The main venue for Brazilian Beat will be the Casa do Alentejo Community Centre, 1130 Dupont Street, Toronto (near Dufferin Street).

The party will be held on April 17th at the Lula Lounge, 1585 Dundas Street W., Toronto (near Dufferin Street).
