Denise e Vera Casoni Jazz - Ballet é uma escola de dança, que vem realizando um trabalho de qualidade, seriedade e sucesso há 25 anos. Em junho de 1981, Vera Casoni abria sua academia ao lado de suas filhas Denise e Christine, que hoje, são as coordenadoras da escola. Sua sede, uma casa de três andares, está localizada entre os bairros de Ipanema e Copacabana, Zona Sul do Rio deJaneiro.
Vera dirige a escola e cuida da parte administrativa. Denise cuida da direção artística e é professora das turmas mais avançadas e Christine coordena o balé clássico e dá aulas para as turmas infantis. Além delas, uma equipe de professores garante a excelência no ensino dos vários estilos e técnicas oferecidos pela escola, que vão desde as aulas de balé clássico até o jazz dance, street, sapateado e contemporâneo, entre outros.
"Nosso objetivo é oferecer cursos de qualidade, onde cada professor tem o compromisso de priorizar o aluno, em relação à faixa etária, o corpo físico, o ritmo de aprendizagem, a sociabilidade no grupo, a parte cognitiva e motora. A escola pretende esquematizar os programas de aula de forma a levar ao aluno um conhecimento mais amplo. O público-alvo, em sua maioria, ainda não vê a dança como importante processo educativo no desenvolvimento psicomotor e é evidente a necessidade de se imbuir esta concepção sobre a dança,” diz Christine
Escolas em Ipanema e Barra da Tijuca

Capoeira Angola, an ancient martial art of African origin, is one of the many cultural weapons used to break the chains of enslavement in Brazil. Played close to the ground, Capoeira Angola combines fluid, dance-like movements with kicks, head butts, tripping sweeps and the appearance of playfulness or vulnerability. Music is played on traditional instruments to accompany the players, to teach the rhythmic heart of the art, and also to mask its power. In the eyes of the enslavers it appeared to be a joking and playful acrobatic dance, but eventually its power was realized and Capoeira was outlawed. Death was the penalty paid by those caught playing Capoeira during the slavery era. For almost 400 years Capoeira Angola was taught and practiced in secret, and only in the 1930's did this African martial art become legal to teach and practice.
