Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that blends swinging rhythms, fast kicks, acrobatics and a lot of energy. This class for the older children, the Capo Kidz, works on powerful kicks, quick defence and acrobatic moves.
Alongside the moves, the children learn capoeira songs and instruments, and build basic fitness and strength. The atmosphere is playful and social, with room for both beginners and more experienced students.
The class is led by Mestre Rui from Rio de Janeiro, who is also head of the Senzala capoeira group in Denmark. He also teaches other capoeira classes at Prismen, including sessions for adults and teens on Mondays.
