Balé de Rua

Archived Show

A high energy mix of hip hop, African dance, samba and capoeira, hit Brazilian dance show Balé de Rua makes its debut at the Peacock Theatre after a triumphant international tour.

"Their outpouring of energy borders on the ecstatic"
The Times

As colourful as the streets from which they hail, the cast of 15 dancers and two vocalists deliver a joyful celebration of life, love and the Brazilian way.

Choreographed by Marco Antônio Garcia, a self-taught dancer, in collaboration with the French director Paul Desveaux, Balé de Rua (which literally translates as 'street ballet') traces the country's history from its African roots to contemporary Brazil.

A lively backdrop of percussion sets the scene for this sun-soaked spectacular – exhilarating rhythms and breathtaking body movements ensure this dynamic and engaging show will have you on your feet, dancing in the aisles!
