“Bal\u00e9 Folcl\u00f3rico got the audience dancing. At the end, gray-haired ladies were dancing up a storm as the high-energy on stage transferred to the audience. As one patron remarked, \u201cIt\u2019s what Spoleto seemed created to be…\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Post and Courier \u2013 USA.<\/p>\n

“A national tour brought the company here tonight with a new, more spectacularly produced program that ended with the audience following dancers and drummers out of the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. The sight of previously staid viewers dancing on an outdoor plaza is no surprise to anyone who has seen this traditional close to Bal\u00e9 Folcl\u00f3rico\u2019s performance…”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Anna Kisselgoff\/The New York Times – USA<\/p>\n

“A bracing Bal\u00e9 Folcl\u00f3rico bursts into town. You could call it the Brazilian “Blast” or the Bahian “Riverdance”. With them one speaks in superlatives: the operative tempos are frenetic, the dynamics numbingly loud, the movement furious, the colors hallucinogenic…”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Boston Globe \u2013 USA<\/p>\n

“Brazilian show a breathtaker. Brazil\u2019s Bal\u00e9 Folcl\u00f3rico da Bahia really needs one of those “fasten your seat belts” signs at the beginning of their shows. At times it wa difficult to take in all the movements, with the male and female dancers together and alone, spinning, jumping and whirling frenetically, but absolutely in control…”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Boston Herald \u2013 USA<\/p>\n

“Fireworks and feats from Brazil. Turn off the eletricity; the dancers of Bal\u00e9 Folcl\u00f3rico da Bahia power the show…”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Orange County Register \u2013 USA<\/p>\n

“In a spectacular display of color, movement, music and drama, Bal\u00e9 Folcl\u00f3rico da Bahia proved that the famous north-eastern state of Brazil doesn\u2019t just produce great singers…”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chicago Sun-Times \u2013 USA<\/p>\n

“In the eastern Brazilian state of Bahia, when something called samba reggae emerges, you have to imagine the air is full of rhythms intersecting, and the dance floors are vibrating with movements that come from everywhere. One way it gets exported is with Bal\u00e9 Folcl\u00f3rico da Bahia, which closes its latest show, with an eponymous samba reggae fest that turns into genial chaos…”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Los Angeles Times \u2013 USA<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the exuberant and apparently inexhaustible dancers, drummers and singers of Bal\u00e9 Folcl\u00f3rico da Bahia, the final ovation was only a second begin…\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Sacramento Bee \u2013 USA<\/p>\n

\u201cBudies clash and spirits soar. These dancers made a spectacle of themselves in the very best sense…\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The New York Times \u2013 USA<\/p>\n

“Experiencing the performance of Bal\u00e9 Folcl\u00f3rico da Bahia is like being close to a volcanic eruption. You might not want to do it every night, but only an idiot would walk away from the chance to experience it…”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Australian \u2013 Australia\/1997<\/p>\n

“Bal\u00e9 Folcl\u00f3rico da Bahia, a unique prefessional folkloric dance company from Brazil, made a great impression and even produced a miracle: they made the audience gets up and dance. Two reasons for the audience\u2019s infatuation: the excellence of the artists and that of the production. One has to adore this frenzied spectacular, sensual, so full of passion and fire. Last night at the end of the performance, the musicians and dancers spilled out on the plaza followed by the entire audience, where they prologed the celebration for another half-hour…”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Le progress \u2013 France\/1997<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone who still thinks the dulcet tones of girls from Ipanema represent all of Brazil would have a change of heart, or pulse rate, after the New York debut of the Bal\u00e9 Folcl\u00f3rico da Bahia at City Center…\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Anna Kisselgoff, The New York Times \u2013 USA<\/p>\n

\u201cSomething happened in Brazil that was like nothing else, a particularly happy meeting of the Latin sensibility\u2019s long melodic impulse and the propulsive energy of African music. These dancers move to the heartbeat of a nation. The exuberant pulse of samba spilled over across the footlights and got the audience up and dancing in the aisles…\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

San Francisco Chronicle \u2013 USA<\/p>\n

“Exuberant, indefatigable and virtuosic, the dancers, singers and drummers of this superb company exploded with the Afro-Brazilian rhythms that are its special heritage. As bravura display, the company\u2019s “Maculel\u00ea” with its sticks and blades flashing, and “Capoeira” with its high-flying kicks, were eletrifying. And no one could have been immune to the infectious rhythms of the “Samba Reggae”. The directors have mined a trove of rich material…”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Anna Kisselgoff\/The New York Times – USA<\/p>\n

“With its choreographed carnival and slave dances, in the capoeira (the high-kicking dances that are also a form of martial arts), and, above all, in the gaiety of the samba, this exuberant, uniquely Brazilian group should absolutely be seen in the United States…”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
