THE DELIGHTS OF DANCE!

I grew up loving dance. My mother is from the state of Bahia, in the Northeast of Brazil, where the influence of Africa culture is very prominent.

When you walk down the street in this tropical land, you are greeted by Afro-Brazilian rhythms floating out of the windows and doors you pass. Any time of the day you will see women of all ages dancing spontaneously in the streets with a sweet abandonment, while rejoicing in the moment. MORE
