Capoeira – Martial Arts Fusion

Capoeira is a unique fusion of Brazilian martial art and dance, explored through movement and music. This workshop will help you to explore the artistic traditions of Afro-Brazilian culture and will cover the key elements of Capoeira including defence, attack, playfulness and humour. Capoeira is traditionally performed in a circle by two dancers, or opponents, who attempt to outwit each other and incorporates short routines consisting of low kicks, cartwheels and sweeps.
