    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on the capoeira dance in Brazil. It states that dance started as a self-defense by slaves who escaped from their owners in Salvador. It mentions that Brazilians performed the self-defense with music when it was prohibited to deceive the authorities if they were spotted doing the capoeira before it was legalized in 1937. It notes that Manoel Does Reis Machado, who led the transition of capoeira into a respectable activity, teaches the dance in high school and college students.
