Programme

Capoeira is all about responding to each other and to the music. Graceful movements and jumps together form a game with no winner or loser.

Discovering movements

Children explore attacking and defensive movements through play.
Listening to music

Rhythm guides the movements. The teacher often uses a berimbau and tambourine.
Responding to each other

Watching, moving and adapting to each other create the interplay.
