Capoeira Foundation IN-PERSON - Brooklyn, NY 2021

CLASS MATERIALS: Comfortable loose clothing Capoeira is the Brazilian martial art that teaches students to resist, defend, dance, and play all at the same time. Students learn commands and songs in Brazilian Portuguese and become comfortable with the instruments and visual culture of rotating between watching, singing, and playing. They also develop confidence, agility, and skill as they do acrobatics at varying speeds while interacting with classmates. Toddlers and beginner-level students become more spatially aware of their surroundings while more advanced students accomplish more physically challenging maneuvers within smaller spaces while learning about Capoeira's rich history of Afro-Brazilian culture.
