Classes with Ithaca Capoeira Angola Quintal are...
-
Beginner-friendly
-
Inclusive & supportive
-
Great exercise
-
Culturally rich
-
Detailed & comprehensive
Each class begins with music and inspiration, moves into a warm-up and exercises to learn and condition ourselves for the basics of capoeira, and concludes with a core lesson for the day: practicing combinations of movements with a partner, learning more advanced/detailed movements, and playing games (jogos) of capoeira.
All ability levels are welcome. Our teachers and students are here to support; not to push anyone beyond their limit.
