Ginga by the Sea

The kick sweeps high, and the dodge follows its rhythm. On the sand beside the sea, two capoeira practitioners turn balance and movement into an energetic scene. By the sea, capoeira seems to converse with the waves: approaching, retreating, turning, and never standing still. Culture is also participation: dancers, musicians, teachers, audiences, and caretakers all keep a tradition moving. The scene brings memory into the present, showing that tradition can stay alive without being frozen in time.
