>> About the course:
We offer to type of classes:
Beginners Course: These classes focus on learning the basis of traditional capoeira angola from Salvador da Bahia, Brazil. The lessons focus on movements, flexibility & strength, music and singing. Capoeristas of all levels and styles are welcome to participate any time. The classes couple physical training with music and couple games at the end of each session.
Introduction to Capoeira: These classes are intended for people who want to try capoeira for the first time. No preparation is required; we will always work with respect for the body and personal attitudes. No rush, no pressure at all. The classes are individual or for groups and focus on basic movements of attack and defence of Capoeira Angola. These movements are practised individually or in couple.
The former age to start is 14 but younger children are very welcome if accompanied by an adult. For them, the course is free of charge.
The lessons are in English but other languages are available (Spanish, Portuguese, Italian). The official language of Capoeira is Brasilian Portuguese and keywords will be taught in this language as well as songs.
