Rave Reviews

BRAVO! EXCELLENT! FANTASTIC! Staff and students were still talking about Aché Brasil the next day! The energy… the acrobatics… and how they involved all of us in their performance was incredible!

K. Heucher 

The engaging seven-member troupe had the kiddie set eating out of its hands… High kung fu-type kicks and fierce lunges are interspersed with hand and head stands of amazing endurance.

The Globe and Mail, Paula Citron 

With lashing kicks, spins and continuous rolling cartwheels, capoeira involves the body’s spinning a carapace of movement around itself, or enclosing itself in a blur of vector lines.

The Vancouver Sun, Lloyd Dyck
