Students will be introduced to the Afro-Brazilian art of capoeira, which blends aspects of martial arts, dance, and music. The course will aim to provide the basics of capoeira movements and music while also advancing students’ understanding of their own bodies through conditioning and partner work. Elements of philosophy will also be incorporated to assess what it means to be a martial artist and a capoeirista. Students with or without previous martial arts experience are encouraged to take this course.
