About this Class

The focus of this class is to build and refine Capoeira technique and basic skills. Although every class is different, a typical class consists of a guided warm-up using Capoeira movements followed by practicing sequences of Capoeira movements both individually and in partners. General physical conditioning exercises build strength, balance, and agility. Basics classes also introduce Capoeira music and most of the time ends with a Capoeira Roda open to all students. Basics classes are appropriate for students of all levels and are a great place for new students to start. Advanced students often continue to take basic classes to work on the foundation of their technique. Capoeira also builds self-confidence and endurance and is an inclusive activity for youth, teens, adults and older adults.
