COMMENTS ABOUT RAÍZES DO BRASIL's PERFORMANCE!


Professor Ferreira,

I cannot thank you enough for bringing your students to perform at the recent 
Readiness Fair at HQBN, HQMC Henderson Hall. I know that everyone who
witnessed the demonstration enjoyed it! Each individual that performed had
certain qualities that brought enjoyment to those who watched. As a 
teacher, you should be proud of your students. Not because they performed their
Capoeira well (which they did), but because they conducted themselves in a
very positive manner. That is a reflection of their character and your
positive influence. Keep up the good work!

Hi,

I just saw your group on Metro 5 and was very impressed by you and the
group. I just wanted to tell you that your hard work was very evident.
I will try to catch a live performance, I can't wait to see what Capoeira
looks like live!
Peace and good luck to you all.

Dear Eduardo,

Thank you so much for coming in to work with my 7th grade students last
week. They all had a terrific time. After the weekend they had wonderful
things to say about you and the students that you brought. Thanks for
helping to make the day a success!

Dear Prof. Eduardo,

Thank you for taking the time to bring your group to Connecticut College. Our students were very
excited to have the opportunity to experience a bit of the Brazilian culture through your
demonstration. We have had many positive responses to the performance! It was very nice to meet
you finally, and I hope that we can work together again in the future.

Dear Mr. Eduardo Ferreira:

For many years your contributions to our Latin American Festivals have
enthused our students and the local Latin-American community.
We thank the entire Capoeira group for the stirring performance at the
Latin American Festial 2001 at Seward Park High School. Our students
are genuinely fascinated by this dance form.

Sincerely,

Hi Eduardo,

Thank you so much for your help, you guys were great!! Because of time, we couldn't have 
as much of your performance as we would have liked, but it was still 
amazing.
