These classes consist of:
music practice where students learn traditional rhythms and songs, as well as the context in which they are sung.
learning and refining a variety of movements that make up the vocabulary of the capoeira game, including kicks, escapes, acrobatic flourishes, takedowns, and more.
using the movements in sequences in scenarios to make them applicable and and develop strategies for winning the game.
conditioning exercises that help build strength, mobility and endurance that is specific to capoeira, but certainly beneficial in everyday life.
