Brazilian Capoeira is a fun way to get moving and learn new things. The students will follow the movements the teacher performs on the screen. This class is designed to focus on traditional Brazilian Capoeira movements. Each concept will be presented in an age appropriate fashion. A typical class will be structured as follows:

- Warm up game
- Basic movement introduction
- Dodge drills
- Kick drills
- Intro to Acrobatic movement
- Cool down
- Traditional "axé" shout

These basics are a wonderful introduction to the art form. 

Something important to remember is that capoeira is a Brazilian martial art. While this class is conducted mostly in American English, many of the songs, games, and movements are from the Brazilian Portuguese language. I will demonstrate these words and provide an opportunity for the students to repeat and learn them.

After the class ends, I will also provide an optional activity for the students to complete through the week. This may be a printable coloring page, a vocab list, a puzzle page, or a Brazilian Portuguese children's video. This activity will help reinforce what the students learned in the class, and help introduce them to more Brazilian history, culture, and language.
