Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that blends swinging rhythms, dynamic kicks, and impressive acrobatics. At this session for children aged 6 to 8, the young participants move on their hands and feet and learn cool kicks and fun tricks while playing.
The training builds motor skills using ribs and equipment, and includes capoeira clapping, singing and, at times, instruments. The group welcomes both beginners and more experienced students, and the atmosphere is built around laughter and community.
The session is led by Mestra Vida, who is described as the first female master of capoeira in Northern Europe. The class is run by Capoeira Senzala Amager as part of the wider Senzala group, which traces its lineage to Mestre Rui in Rio de Janeiro.
