capoeira was created by slaves in Brasil to escape from the portuguese soldiers. thats why it looks like an innocent dance, just to show off, that way they could pratice and the soldiers wouldnt be alarmed. but capoeira fighters were incredably strong, and the portuguese army had more trouble fighting escaped slaves who pratice capoeira, than the invaders armys from holland. dont underestimate capoeira.

The language in the video is Norwegian (Bokmål).

Yeah that is definitely not German. it's probably some kind of Scandinavian.

I live in João Pessoa, Brazil and this is as representative of Brazil as a clip of the Hitler youth would be of Germany.

It really isn't a dance, but when you do capoeira, you have to move in the same harmony with your partner, like by the dances. i think, it's not a huge mestake, to say it's a dance.

It's a Norwegian comercial from the Churchs emergency aid(Kirkkens nodhjelp). The narrator says: "The Churchs aid supports many measures against volence in Brazil. Education in the martial art Capoeira gives youths self confidence and trust in their own skills."
