We went to a one hour show of Bahian/African dance and music and loved it. It was in a small theatre (so book) and all of the performers were excellent dancers/singers/musicians. What a great start to the evening.

I've gone to see this show twice over the last 5 years and most recently this April 2013. It is by far an event you don't want to miss. The music, performances and the energy all combine to make this a spectacular show at reasonable cost. My only caution is to get there a little early for seats are not... More

The dance evening at the club was a very dynamic performance with enthusiatstic young dancers, almost aerobatic at the end. The dance hall is a bit small and you are packed inside, but the performance is excellent.

Get your tickets in advance as this show always sells out. I can see why as the quality is amazing. The theater is small so the performers are quite close (we sat in the 4th row). The energy was amazing and the dancers/performers are very polished. Well worth the money!

I liked that it is in the heart of the pedestrian district, only cost $20 USD and gave me a glimpse into Afro-Brazilian folk culture.

The dance performance was excellent. They don't let you take any photography, but the performance is beautiful and lovely to watch! Totally worth it! You have to get there at least 20 minutes ahead of time as seating is first come first serve and therefore an excellent spot in the queue is definitely required.

This far outshines performances we saw in Rio and the Amazon. The company excels and can easily compete equally with the best of the US and Europe. Each dance excels over the previous one, and the final dance comes too soon. The fire dance is one of the most exciting versions of this type of dance I have ever seen... More

Excellent show, showcasing the Afro-Brazilian culture and history. Wonderful dancers, excellent singing, and excellent drumming from the percussionists. Only one hour long, but very much worth it. Only aspect that could be improved is seating: there are no backs to the seats, so you bump into those who are on the row above if you lean back. Otherwise, highly, highly... More
