What is Brazilian Funk ?
Funk Carioca is a style within Brazilian funk and is a cultural manifestation that originates from hybridism with black cultural manifestations, such as American Funk, Hip-Hop, Maracatu.
Just like Hip Hop, Brazilian Funk involves several elements, which cannot be characterized just as a song or a dance, it is a culture (black and peripheral). The dance comes from the 70s/80s with Charme, passing through the 90s/2000s with Danças de Bonde, Jogação, Passinho Foda, arriving in the years 2010 untilt oday with the Dancinha. All dances being practiced and experienced within the Bailes Funk.Nowadays, the focus of the work og Robert Soli is completely Funk Carioca in its essence. The choreographies mix the modalities (from the oldestto the newest). In my classes I work in some formats:
