ONGOING
THURSDAY 7:00 - 9:00 pm

SATURDAY 1:00 - 3:00 pm
Our Approach:
There is both renewal and nostalgia in the practice of Capoeira Angola. It is an experience that is rooted in the community that promotes personal growth through structured learning and ritual practice. This circle represents a sacred place where we are both open and closed. A space where we feel free enough to safely push ourselves. Where we are invited to make and take space, and to do so with strategy and with style.
​
What are some of the main goals of classes?
-
To activate the brain and body connection by learning the physical movements of Capoeira through disciplined practice.
-
To lean to play, tune and make the instruments that make up the ‘bateria.’
-
To reinforce basic Portuguese fluency through the repetition of the different songs sung in the ‘roda’ to influence and respond to the game.
-
To explore the purpose and meaning of the ritual of Capoeira through discussion and imagination.
-
To provide immersive experiences for people interested in social and cultural practices related to Capoeira and African and Brazilian worldviews.
-
To model a culture of nonviolence and inclusion.
Schedule:
