A children's capoeira class built around the core elements of the art: music, movement and the game of the fight. Through rhythm, creative play and teamwork, the children develop their sense of timing and cooperation.
Each session begins with a warm-up, after which the capoeira movements are taught through a range of educational games. Particular emphasis is placed on acrobatics and rhythm, which challenge and build the children's coordination. Because the play includes elements of mock fighting, the children learn to listen and stay alert, while still having plenty of fun.
The class ends with a roda, where parents are invited inside to join in with singing and clapping while the children perform capoeira in the circle.
