Capoeira Kids (TK-12)
For the little ones, this class works on essential developmental skills as well as basic capoeira moves and the introduction to its rhythm through some percussion instruments and capoeira songs.
For the older ones we start working on more self-defense techniques, coordination, balance, flexibility, body control and strength to the rhythm of capoeira music. An important part of capoeira is its music so we also incorporate the learning of percussion instruments and singing in Portuguese. Capoeira movements are taught in Portuguese so there is language acquisition as well.
