Capoeira Arts Camp

Capoeira Arts Camp is a chance for young people (ages 5 to 11 years) to learn about and deepen their relationship to the Afro-Brazilian martial and ritual art form of Capoeira. We will focus on coordination, stamina, musicality, balance, working together, playfulness, and creativity.
