About this event
Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art that blends self-defense moves with dance, acrobatics, and music. Capoeira is practiced around the world and recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity. It is a fun way to discover an ancestral tradition that brings all kinds of people together to celebrate diversity. This club is taught by Mestre Maxuel, who began practicing Capoeira at the age of five in his native region of Bahia, Brazil. He has produced multiple CDs of his own Capoeira music, and has set up schools in Chile, France, and the United States. Mestre Maxuel has taught in schools, universities, and cultural centers around the world; loves sharing his passion for Capoeira with his students; and excels at making classes enjoyable and accessible for everyone. (Please note: There are no sessions on Feb 14, March 14 & 28, April 25.)
