Capoeira is a Brazilian art that combines music, dance, martial arts, acrobatics, and spirituality. This versatile program can be used as a self-defense art or as a way to maintain spirituality and promote intercultural understanding. Favoring movement over fixed stances, the practitioner’s body will learn to flow with the “Ginga”, the rocking step that is the center point of capoeira. As the student’s skill evolves and their body learns to flow, acrobatic maneuvers involving hands on the ground and inverted kicks can be explored. Practiced as a dance, the student’s coordination will improve through the rhythm of movement, and the wide range of motion will increase the strength and flexibility of any practitioner. Families will enjoy taking capoeira together as the music makes this martial practice feel like a fun dance party. Our Brazilian instructor comes to us with over fifteen years of experience to introduce our Y members to this exhilarating art and help us explore our potential. Only At The Lansdale Branch!
