TUESDAY – David Rubenstein Atrium at Lincoln Center, check the trailer for the documentary A Batalha do Passinho about the exciting dance subculture in Brazil. Check this great interview by Rio Gringa with the director Emílio Domingos about the project.
THURSDAY – Dancers from the film A Batalha do Passinho make their NYC debut at Lincoln Center Out of Doors. Zuzuka Poderosa will be hosting/translating the dance battle. Info is HERE.
SATURDAY – Learn Passinho from the teenagers themselves (Zuzuka Poderosa will also be serving as translator and host) at 1 PM. Info is HERE.
