Capoeria is an Afro-Brazilian martial art:  a rhythmic conversation between two bodies without speaking. Capoeria originated in Brazil during the 16th century.  It was developed by slaves, and  was first disguised as a dance, then later used as a tool of survival and defense to help them gain freedom from oppression. Today, Capoeira is celebrated for its beauty, tradition and profound importance in Brazil’s history.

Instructors for this workshop may vary, depending on the date and the size of the class.   Julio and Holly often teach it together; however, if Holly is not available, Julio may teach solo, or bring another Capoeira artist visiting from Brazil.
