Rodrigo and Paulo Pederneiras, artistic director and choreographer
This electrifying Brazilian dance company captivates with stunning, sexy physicality, dynamic ability, and rich visual flair. Grupo Corpo (literally “Body Group”) creates a vibrant and seamless blend of ballet's grace, modern dance's verve, and the hip-swiveling exuberance of Carnival sambas and their Afro-Brazilian roots. Founded in 1975, Grupo Corpo returns to Ann Arbor – the company appeared in 2002 as part of UMS's focus on Brazilian artists – with two performances featuring Ãmã (2009) and another work to be announced. Don't miss this chance to experience Grupo Corpo's “searing sensuality elegantly under control.” (Le Monde, Paris)
