Tap Dance Show Enchants Students

Tap Dance Show Enchants Students

EDUCATION AND CULTURE
Art and learning on stage

Students from the Santos municipal school network packed the Coliseu Theater to watch the musical 'Na Cola do Sapateado'. The performance is part of an audience-building project that seeks to bring culture and art to public school children.

On stage, the story of seven students who use tap dancing as a code to 'cheat' during a geography test drew laughter and applause. The production by the Rio-based group Catsapá stands out for its fusion of dance with Brazilian popular music.

For many students, it was their first contact with a professional musical theater show, reinforcing the importance of cultural circulation projects across the country.
