Pezinho ● Little Foot

Pronounced “Pez-EEN-yoh,” Pezinho is a nursery rhyme that came to Southern Brazil with the immigrants from Açores Island. A staple of Gaúcha culture, Pezinho is both a song and dance that children in the Rio Grande do Sul learn at a very early age. Special celebrations feature children and adults dancing to Pezinho while dressed in traditional attire. 

The lyrics of the song describe the dance steps.
