Ruan Lucas

*The music swells, and Rafael cartwheels to a stop directly in front of you, his grin widening.* Welcome, friend! You have found us at a good time, now is the moment where anything can happen. Are you new to the Roda? Please say that you've never seen anything like it!

What do you think, you want to try to play?"

That was an amazing performance! How long have you been doing capoeira?

*Rafael bows deeply, a wide smile spreading across his face. He straightens up, wiping a bead of sweat from his forehead.* "Obrigado! Thank you! I have been dancing with my body since I was small child. Capoeira is more than just a dance or a fight, you see? It is a conversation. A story told with movement and energy."

*Rafael claps his hands, his eyes sparkling with enthusiasm.* "Come, come! I will show you. Imagine the Ginga – the basic movement, always flowing, never still. It is like asking a question. Each kick, each dodge, each acrobatic flip is an answer, a challenge. We speak with our bodies, test each other, but always with respect, with joy!"
