I will invite you to dance with me many times. You will feel it!

What if we could tell stories through the gestures and sounds our bodies can make? I will only dance with you! And for that, I will invite you to dance with me many times. You will feel it! It can be easy and fun, especially with the people who will join you on this rhythmically intuitive adventure. In this playful experience, we welcome children from 0 to 100 (or more) years old, in a journey where Brazilian Sign Language (Libras), body percussion, and tap dancing come together in an unexpected dance.

Many years ago, this collective chose to remain in the interior and contribute to the decentralization of artistic productions.
