Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that combines kicks, acrobatics, rhythm, song and music. This class is open to both beginners and more experienced practitioners, and the trainer adapts the exercises to each person's age and level.
The sessions cover everything from fighting techniques and acrobatics to the culture surrounding capoeira. Many students stay on after class to practise more, and the group is known for its strong sense of community.
The class is led by Mestra Vida, who is the first female mestre in Northern Europe. Capoeira Senzala Ørestad is part of the Capoeira Gruppen Senzala, founded by Mestre Rui from Brazil. Mestra Vida also teaches other classes in the area in the coming months, including children's sessions.
