This course will combine skill training of kicks and basic tumbling with music.HISTORY:Capoeira was an underground martial art form designed by the slaves that were taken from Angola, (West Africa). The music from their homemade instruments disguised their fighting as a dance and they played out their moves by the instruction of the rhythms.The challengers were hidden in a tight circle of singing to keep the slave owners from knowing they were fighting each other. The moves are choreographed in a way to never hurt or even touch each other. Instead, on "wins" by showing up the other with cunning skill and outsmarting the other's technique.The entire sequence of sparing ("playing " each other) is dictated by the music. Capoeira is a joyously unique art form to be experienced.This workshop is recommended for families and encouraged for gymnasts. Capoeira can be enjoyed at all ages and is best to be learned with a parent, sibling, or friend to practice and play with!This is a great workshop to take along side your kids!
