Event Description:

Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art form developed in the 1500s by enslaved Africans in Brazil to aid in the rebellion against slave masters and fight for freedom during the colonial period. Capoeira incorporates acrobatics, dance, percussion, and songs in a rhythmic dialogue of body, mind, and spirit. Students will learn capoeira movements, self-defense kicks, moves with playful acrobatics and dance-like moves during this workshop.
