Capoeira

About this event

CAPOEIRA Move. Play. Connect. Beginner friendly, with no experience needed. Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art that blends movement, martial arts, acrobatics, music, and play into one dynamic practice. You’ll learn the foundations of capoeira through the ginga (the fundamental movement of capoeira), kicks, evasions, floor movements, and partner-based exercises, with opportunities to explore inversions and acrobatic movements as you progress. What to expect: Dynamic warm-up, mobility & movement prep Ginga, kicks, evasions & flowing transitions Strength, balance, coordination & body awareness Partner drills that build timing, reaction & creativity Acrobatics and inversions with progressions for your level An introduction to the music, rhythm & culture of capoeira Capoeira challenges you to move in new ways while building strength, mobility, coordination, and confidence. The goal isn’t simply to attack or defend. It’s to learn to play, respond, improvise, and move in conversation with another person. All levels welcome! Whether you’re new to martial arts, already into calisthenics, Animal Flow and movement, or just looking for a completely different way to challenge your body, come play. No equipment required. This class will take place on the outdoor courtyard depending on weather, if theres a chance of inclement weather the class will be moved indoors. Taught by the talented Sveta! IG: @sveta_capoeira
