J. Lo Gets Capoeira Lesson in Uruguay 'Q'Viva!' Shoot

By Rafael Abreu

'American Idol' judge Jennifer Lopez takes her hosting duties for her own reality show, 'Q'Viva! The Chosen' very seriously. She took time in Montevideo, Uruguay to immerse herself in the culture, dancing with the locals on the beach, of course.

The dance music queen got a lesson of her own as some of the natives demonstrated their skill with the Brazillian art form that combines dance, martial arts and music known as capoeira. The art form was first brought to Brazil by African slaves, then urbanized into one of Brazil's leading exports all over the world -- a representation of the country, much like Salsa is to Afro-Cuban culture.

'Q'Viva! The Chosen' is estranged husband Marc Anthony's partner project with his soon-to-be ex-wife, as they scour Latin America in a 21-country search for the best talent in music, dance and art. One of their stops is Uruguay.
