The dance called A Game

The movements just so and circle all day

Round and Round until new players play

Mistakes may happen, but never are judged

No matter experience, no one is budged

Switching between playing or stringing

Percussion and string combined in Berimbau

Playing is fun, but after we hug

Ending the play, but remembering the game

Helping our friends, and dancing along the way

Leaping to dodge legs and arms and sweeps

Quick steps and constant movement

Watching and waiting to answer your opponent

Keeping up and staying ahead of every move

is for No Hitting

Misses, dodges, near and far

Jumps and ducks and side steps

No hits, no kicks, no punches, just fun training

is for Original

No choreography, improvisation of movement

Keep it fresh and new, interesting for all

Each Player's own style of play and fun

is for Players

Don't call them dancers, they play instead

Fun times training and playing with friends

They are players, not strict dancers for court
