ABOUT CAPOEIRA
Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art that incorporates dance, acrobatics, and music. It was believed to have been developed during the period of slavery in Brazil as a practice of resistance, physical, emotional, and or spiritual. There are many forms of capoeira, our group practices a style known as capoeira regional initially developed by Mestre Bimba in the 1930s. Since then capoeira has grown in popularity and is now taught internationally.
Games have two players who alternate kicks, dodges, and acrobatics with each other, sometimes with the intent to trick or take down the opposite player. All games are improvised requiring both mental and physical acuity to maintain continuous movement. Capoeira is unique as a martial art, in that it is accompanied by musical accompaniment, several instruments and clapping and singing by other participants ringing around the players. Capoeira has had a long, interesting history in Brasil, intertwining with social, cultural, and historical events. We encourage you to bring your questions to class!
