At each session, we will play capoeira: learning basic movements, dancing, singing, playing percussive instruments, and discussing the traditions of the art. We will also have the opportunity to learn how to craft the Berimbau (bow instrument) and all of its components, gradually assembling and decorating them throughout the week.
​
People of any experience level are welcome, and every session will be very beginner-friendly. We have experienced friends coming from across the country, ensuring a diverse and supportive environment to be introduced to capoeira or learn more about it!
