Saturdays: Capoeira Online (All ages welcome)

Capoeira is now online.  This class will provide children a studio experience from their own home. All lessons will be led by our Teaching Artist Levi Guerrero and allow your child to socialize with other students in the class. You must have internet on a device with a built in camera to participate. 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.
