    Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian tradition that incorporates dance, acrobatics, self-defense, percussion, and songs in a rhythmic dialogue of body, mind, and spirit. Great for children, Capoeira is a skillful movement game in which two opponents compete playfully with one another with acrobatics and dance-like moves. The class will begin with a basic warm-up, and will be followed by an introduction to various capoeira moves employed in the game. Students will receive a workout of the mind and the body, as experienced capoeirista Instrutora Sereia guides them to explore their capacity of movement, balance, coordination, and flexibility, while building their self-confidence and control. Instrutora Sereia is the director of ABADA Capoeira-Boston, and studied under one of the highest ranked female capoeiristas in the world, Marcia Treidler. Capoeira will be played with no shoes. Children are encouraged to wear comfortable workout clothing. Note: No class February 27th. Register online or by phone.
