Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that combines swinging rhythms, dangerous kicks and acrobatics. This class for the older children, called Capo Kidz, works on fast defence, kicks and acrobatic moves, while the group also learns capoeira songs and instruments and builds basic fitness and strength.
The training is built around play, laughter and teamwork, with room for both beginners and more experienced pupils. The class is run by Mestra Vida, who is described by the organisers as the first female master of capoeira in Northern Europe. The organisers also run this class throughout the year, and the season runs from September to June.
