Like all the dances choreographed by co-founder Rodrigo Pederneiras, Nazareth is structured as a sequence of passages—again, it’s like watching a parade, one Escola de Samba after another.

 A Review: Grupo Corpo
While all of the dancers started off the piece with their feet firmly planted on the ground and their bodies swaying in circles - in unison, the dancers quickly burst into their own patterns of movements (sometimes jerky, sometimes mellifluous).
The ebb and flow of bodies, light and sound hardly paused for a breather during the entire 45 minutes - and climaxed with amazing displays of strength and coordination by pairs of dancers that one might expect to see only at the circus.
The word, "corpo," when referring to the troupe's name, could mean a human body, a body of work, or a corps de ballet.
