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. Visit our website to learn the dance!
