About the course
The dance is known for its dynamic, energetic and often sexually explicit style, reflecting the raw, direct character of funk music. Some see it as vulgar and inappropriate, while others celebrate it as an authentic expression of youth culture and a reflection of real life in the favelas. Despite the controversy, funk has become an important part of Brazilian popular culture and influences dance styles all over the world.
Brazilian funk is known for its intense energy and striking moves. Typical elements are isolations of different parts of the body and fast, rhythmic movements of the hips, back and shoulders. One of the best-known moves is the "quadradinho", where dancers move their hips and bottom in a square pattern. For many young people from the favelas, dance is a way to escape an everyday reality full of violence, poverty and social inequality. Funk keeps inspiring and reaching dancers all over the world, confirming its place as a major cultural phenomenon.
