Before Capoeira I had never really danced in any shape or form. Because many of the elements within the Brazilian music is used in much of the music in pop culture, it's a lot easier to move to the music of today.

Influence
One music culture that has had a big influence on me is Brazilian folk music. This relationship began when I started taking Capoeira. This style of music encourages togetherness with your peers because even though people are fighting to the music you're still helping to provide the beat. The music is usually upbeat and it has been passed down from several generations. I like it because you can sense the lifestyle of the original composers of these songs back in the 1800's during the slave trade.
