Capoeira is an exciting martial art that combines dance, acrobatics, culture and a twist… MUSIC! Though Capoeira is a martial art, it is referred to as a game. The uniqueness of Capoeira will give your body physical strength, power, flexibility and your mind self-confidence, concentration, courage and creativity. Students will learn the basics of capoeira movement and with that knowledge they will begin to learn how to “play the game of capoeira.” They will learn Capoeira kicks, strikes, various cartwheels, animal movements/ground movements and various dodges. Students will also learn the names of these movements in Portuguese as well as some other basic language things such as numbers.
