DANCE

The basic movement in capoeira is the ginga, a dance step and the basic way of moving within the game of capoeira from which all other movements originate and lead back to.

In addition to with the practice of capoeira we also teach maculele - a war dance with sticks and samba - the popular Brazilian dance always present in the big carnival parades in Brazil.

FANCY KICKS

In classes we practice various kicks, mainly circular kicks and kick combinations which all improve your balance and coordination. And of course we practice the appropriate defences and counter movements.

Some of the many kick are also common in various martial arts while others are unique to capoeria. The advanced student can also use impressive acrobatic movements to make his or her capoeira game more interesting and entertaining.

ACROBATICS

When basic capoeira movements are learned we begin teaching the student acrobatic movements to build into his or her game. Naturally we start with the more simple acrobatics first and move to the more difficult ones when the student is ready and comfortable to move on.

Some of the acrobatic movements are; cartwheels, handstands, hand-spins, back-flips somersaults and many more.

“No students are ever pushed into trying an acrobatic movement they are not comfortable with, however if individuals show ambition they receive the support and assistance they require.”
