Come move and groove the Brazilian way! Capoeira combines martial arts, music, dance and acrobatics to help students gain coordination, focus, agility, flexibility, teamwork and strength. Classes for this age group incorporate music, rhythm, games, creative movement, singing in Portuguese and introduction to Capoeira movements. We will focus on developing physical and sensory awareness through movement, tumbling, and sensory activities.
