Capoeira 101 is a non-stop class in a lighthearted environment.  All fighting is strictly non-contact.  Children, adults and families are encouraged to train together as size and age do not affect the sport.  The goal for this course is to improve endurance, reflexes, self-awareness, flexibility and strength, and to introduce people to Capoeira, a great activity for all ages that can be practiced with friends most anywhere.

Developed in the 16th century by African slaves in Brazil, Capoeira is a symbol of the triumph of spirit over adversity.  Students will also learn many words in Portuguese, and will have a chance to play traditional Afro-Brazilian Capoeira music.

Please wear loose, comfortable clothing that is at least as flexible as you are!  Sweat pants or warm-ups and a t-shirt would be fine.  Bring water and don't eat too much before class.  The fee for this 5-week program is $45.  Additional family members receive a $5 discount.
