Class description:
Capoeira is a 400 year old Brazilian martial art developed by African Slaves as a means of entertainment, self-defense, and cultural preservation. This multifaceted system of physical discipline utilizes rhythm, dance, storytelling, acrobatics, and fighting to create a rich and mystical game played between two practitioners. Students can expect a challenging cardio workout, adap
ted to the needs of each student. Regular practitioners can see rapid improvement in physical stamina, strength, and flexibility. Students are also exposed Brazilian culture and history, music and exotic instruments, and a positive atmosphere with outgoing fellow students. Each year also offers the opportunity for dedicated students to receive a cord (capoeira's version of a belt) under the internationally recognized Cordao De Ouro system. Our popular kids classes have the same physical and cultural offerings as the adults, but geared towards younger minds and bodies. This class is a fun way to get your kids moving, while also learning respect and discipline. Price for classes:
Monthly cost for adult classes is $75 for adults and $50 for kids. We also offer a $15 drop-in rate for any of our classes for those who are unable to make a monthly commitment. Bio:
