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.

​

What to Expect:

​

• We will be mindful of your time, beginning and ending class on schedule.

• Our teachers and members will be welcoming and respectful.

• Capoeira is a great workout-- you may wish to bring a water bottle and towel.

• Workout-appropriate clothing will be a wise choice.

• Please be prepared to go barefoot for class. Proper hygiene is appreciated by all.

• We will move, participate in music, and have fun for the full duration of class.
