Groovy Kids Club: Brazilian Capoeira Fundamentals 2
Class experience
In this course, the students will learn about Capoeira from Brazil via music and dance. This is a fun introduction to the basic movements of Capoeira modified for children. You can expect children to get a full workout while they practice body coordination, awareness, and mobility exercises. We will always start the class with a time-in. The time-in is a moment for everyone to bring their attention and focus to our class by stretching and breathing together. After we are warmed up, we...
Students will learn basic capoeira theory & fundamental moves. They will understand the concept of a roda and how to play inside one. In addition to learning the physical aspects of the game, they'll also learn a few Portuguese words.
I lived in Bahia, Brasil for 5 years and speak Brazilian Portuguese semi-fluently. I studied Capoeira with the group Filhos de Zumbi in Itacaré and received my first cord in 2012. I am a 600 hr Registered Yoga Teacher with certification in Yoga for Children & Teens.

Students are asked to wear clothing comfortable to move in. For example joggers, leggings, and t-shirts, etc. Ideally, nothing too baggy as it will be difficult to see the motions. T-shirts should be fitted or tucked into pants to avoid shirt coming up during inversions. NO DRESSES OR SKIRTS. Please keep an easy access water bottle nearby during class. Please have open space approximately 6 X 8 ft on the floor for the learners to move around freely. I recommend a carpeted area, yoga mat, or gymnastics mats.
We regularly practice balancing and acrobatic exercises. Please have open space approximately 6 X 8 ft on the floor for the learners to move around freely. I recommend a carpeted area, yoga mat, or gymnastics mats. *I remind students in class that these moves should only be used when practicing capoeira. Capoeira should not be used to harm another person. Capoeira is a martial art developed during the period of slavery in Brazil. Its roots, music, movement, and theories are based on the African and Afro-Brazilian experiences during these times. I'm not an expert in this history so I don't go into the topics in-depth but I do briefly discuss them throughout lessons. I mainly highlight capoeira's origins and the reason why martial art is disguised with dance and music.
A few of the facts that I share in regards to the history and significance of Capoeira are pulled from the following article. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/capoeira-occult-martial-art-international-dance-180964924/
