Dancing Capoeira
‘roda’ for everyone

Capoeira is a Brazilian art form that mixes dance and combat, rhythm and acrobatic, poetry and self expression. It is celebrated as a ritual activity in a circular area called "roda”. This workshop welcomes people of all types to take their very first steps in capoeira. In a friendly atmosphere everyone will be invited to interact and communicate with each other, sometimes in a dynamic group situation and other times as partner activities, through unusual ways. The foundation is playfulness, the most important point is not what you are able to perform but how to enjoy yourself best within your own possibilities and capacities.
