Brazouka

Rekindling her passion for dance, Pamela Stephenson-Connolly is the inspiration and motivation for the electric and vibrant dance show Brazouka.

Based around the hardship of Braz Dos Santos’ life, Stephenson-Connolly has woven Brazilian dances that are essential and thrilling and haven’t been seen outside of Brazil before.

Some of these dances include the sensual and secret lambada, capoeira, samba and Rio Zouk which will leave audiences dancing in their seat and in the isles.

This ‘rags to riches’ story combines traditional Brazilian dance moves with contemporary pop music that are relatable to Australian and international audiences.

“Australian audiences will love this show as they will be able to see the passion in the Brazilian dancers as they create an inclusive environment,” says Stephenson-Connolly. It follows a story line encapsulated by the props, sets and costumes, but more so the emotion, excitement and enthusiasm inside each and every dancer.

Kicking off the Australian tour in Perth earlier this week, Stephenson-Connolly was humbled by the standing ovation and is confident that the rest of the Australian tour will have the same effect. (EV)
