Come learn capoeira! First-timers especially welcome! Open to all ages and ability levels. 

Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatics, and music. Developed as a method of self-defense disguised as a dance, Capoeira was born out of the Brazilian slaves’ desire for freedom. Capoeira is a dynamic physical dialogue - a conversation through movement which can take on many shades of meaning. 

Class includes a warm up followed by learning movements and sequences. We will often conclude with a "roda" or circle in which capoeira is practiced with the traditional instruments. 

Wear athletic attire and bring water. Unlimited enrollment; advance sign-up requested. While you're not required to come to all sessions of the class, you will improve the most if you attend weekly.
