Description:

Description  Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian art form that fuses dance, music, self-defense and acrobatics. It is an energetic and joyful experience that exposes children to new language, music, movement, and culture. Children will be exposed to traditional rhythm and songs that guide their movements — many taken from the animal kingdom. They will learn new words in Portuguese as they progress. Each week, children will have opportunities to enter the “jogo” in which two Capoeiristas play together simultaneously in a ritualized, non-violent game of movement set to rhythm. Capoeira creates a space where children can be playful, animated, graceful, and expressive in a safe, fun, and disciplined environment. New and repeat students welcome!

Instructor  Mestre Foca is a native of Brazil, certified martial arts instructor, founder of Capoeira Brooklyn, and a PS 154 alumni parent. His unique and creative approach to instruction encourages discipline, focus, and respect while immersing children in Brazilian music, language, and culture.
