the Art of Capoeira at Parkwood! Classes will start January 8, 2024, and will meet each Monday and Friday after school 3:25-4:40pm from January through June with a performance at World Night.

Cost is $99 a month. All grade levels welcome!

Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art disguised as a dance and performed to musical instruments and traditional Brazilian songs. It is comprised of specific offensive and defensive movements and, unlike in other martial arts, the participant is constantly in motion because of the basic movement, the ginga. The movements also consist of positions on the ground, kicks, sweeps and acrobatics.
