Balé Folclórico da Bahia brings thrilling choreography, joyous rhythms, and a feisty, sensual exuberance to every performance. The 38-member troupe of dancers, instrumentalists, and singers performs a repertory based on Bahian folkloric dances of African origin including slave dances; capoeira, a form of martial arts; samba de roda and the lively traditions celebrating Carnival. The centerpiece of the evening, Sacred Heritage, is a work rooted in the Afro-Brazilian religion of Candomblé, created for the 20th anniversary of the company, and seen in the U.S. for the first time on this tour.
