Stony Brook, NY— Staller Center at Stony Brook University presents Dance Brazil, an ensemble of ten athletic dancers who enthrall audiences with their unique fusion of Afro-Brazilian music, contemporary dance and capoeira. Capoeira, a uniquely Brazilian form combining martial arts and dance, inspires their moves. Artistic director and choreographer Jelon Vieira premieres his piece Fe do Sertao, dedicated to a Brazilian folksinger. Also on the program is Banguela, a mesmerizing capoeira dance from 2010.

Dance Brazil’s high-powered fusion of Afro-Brazilian movement and modern dance brings energy and grace to the Staller Center stage. One of artistic director Jelon Vieira’s works, “Dance Like a Fight – Fight Like A Dance,” crystallizes their style in a title.

Enjoy the ensemble’s dazzling artistry inspired by the cultural tapestry of Brazil.

Tickets for Dance Brazil are $34, available by calling the Staller Center Box Office at (631) 632-ARTS [2787] or online at www.stallercenter.com. The Staller Center Box Office at Stony Brook University is open from 12:00 noon to 6:00 pm, Monday to Saturday.
