Classes explore the music, history and physical movements of Capoeira, a martial art developed by individuals who came to Brazil from Africa during the transatlantic slave trade. It is believed that they disguised their martial art as a dance (i.e. capoeira) and eventually used it to help escape from slavery. Led by instructors, Professor Eme Eme, Paciencia, Medicina, or Cabeca no Ceu, each class will teach basic and advanced capoeira movements and concepts at a pace tailored to suit each student. Students of all ages and levels of skill are welcome to attend. Please wear comfortably fitting clothes that will allow a range of movement. Please note that Capoeria is performed barefoot.
