“You don’t need an A’level in Portuguese to know what Grupo Corpo is about.  Brazil’s trailblazing contemporary dance group is a reminder of something all too easily lost in the brow-knitting variety of 21st century dance.  It’s a reminder of the joy of the body in motion and the even header joy of 22 bodies moving as one.  The choreography is shot through with the spirit of samba and bossa nova, capoeira and carnival, the idea of a body saturated with rhythm.  The result is fun, it’s easy on the eye, and it makes you long to get up and join in.”
