one of the greatest things of brazilian culture is the variable melting pot that creates unique and beautiful art forms in the modern age - so in the transformative spring month of october, the encontros tribais ii celebrates this diversity expressed through dance.

inspired by the parintins festival-am, the encontros tribais ii displays dance styles invoking the tribal styles of brazil - the meeting also shows how the indigenous steps of people from brazil have collaborated with other styles of dance including ballet, jazz, belly dancing, urban dancing, ballroom dancing, and street dance.
