Well done! This is a brilliant piece of choreography. I have watched dance performances my whole life and this was genuine and was a good representation of capoeira despite being presented in a non-intimate setting. Mestre Jamaika is a VERY well respected man in the capoeira world
I have mixed feelings about this. I love capoeira (I practice it since 1999) and I love listening to inspiring speeches of TEDx guests. Somehow for me this simply does not add up.
I disagree. I feel that any type of community involvement where capoeira is showcased is extremely important for the art, especially when represented by two incredible Brazilian Mestres like in this video.
@@yuriramos9937 Sim, a capoeira que se joga em Salt Lake City dos mestres brasileiros é tão boa quanto a do mestre Cueca lá na terra dos pé-vermelho hahahaha. Os bons foram embora hahahaha!
Im usually a fan of Ted x Talks and the quality they bring, but this is a miss for me. Integrity of movement was sacrificed for the sake of expression. but in Capoeira, the movement itself _is_ the art.
This is beautiful but it's not capoeira. Capoeira is a martial art, it is played by two people together, facing each other. Expressive and acrobatic movements are used, but not as a solo performance, rather as a way of keeping the game dynamic and being unpredictable. Look up capoeira in the tradition of Mestre Bimba to see what capoeira really is.
Beautiful!! Thank you, TedxSLC, for letting us to be a part of an amazing and inspiring event!

Krzysztof Orzędowski exactly what I thought.
Overly raw and lacking coordination.
Intro so good that promised a great performance - then they didn't deliver...
Demos were pretty Ok/good.

Raff S, have you been able to get into to a TEDx program somewhere? If so, can you share the link so we can see how well you did yours?
Like others, I have mixed feelings about this...
Integrity of movement was sacrificed for the sake _'art'_ . but in Capoeira, the movement is the art.
