Event Overview
Capoeira is a Brazilian Martial Arts. It's movements can feel like a fight or a dance, especially with music playing such an important role. On the surface, it's any combination of kicks, footwork, cart wheels, and some other upside down stuff. But in the heart of it, it's community, expression, music, and discipline.
You will be learning basic movements, and then use them with each other in small "games." Anyone can do this - men, women, all ages, and all sizes!! You'll workout muscles you never knew you had, perhaps sculpt yourself that infamous Brazilian butt, express yourself in a new vibrant way, and most importantly, you'll have fun!
If you ask 5 different Capoeiristas, "what is Capoeira?" then they will give you 5 different answers. This is because Capoeira is whatever you'd like to be. If you're looking to try something new in your life, a new workout, a new hobby, a new outlet, or just.. something, perhaps Capoeira can be something special for you!
What to Bring
Loose pants (but not too loose), and a shirt. Workout clothes. That's it! You may go barefoot, or wear light shoes
