study and preservation of the African originated dance forms that continue to
exist in Brazil. He is a master of Capoeira Angola, but first and foremost he is
a dancer, with expertise in many of Bahia’s contemporary and traditional
styles. Based in Berlin, Laércio now spends much of his time travelling Europe
