Class Descriptions:
Beginners
Adult Beginner capoeira classes (1st day up to Corda Crua/Azul) are focused on teaching all of the movements of capoeira; from the various escapes, to the attacks, to the basic acrobatics, all while maintaining constant movement. While learning all these movements, you will develop a very solid core, lose weight, and tone your body muscles. You will also notice improvements in your reflexes, flexibility, as well as your agility.
Mixed
Adult Mixed capoeira classes (All skill levels) are focused on teaching all of the movements of capoeira as well as more complex sequences. Classes are typically larger and will cater to all skill levels. This class is good to both push the beginner to excel and force more advanced students to work on their basics, as you will often be pair with students of verying skill levels. There will be different variations of sequences/movements for the different skill levels in the class. While learning all these movements, you will develop very solid core strength, lose weight, and tone your body. Your cardio will rise and you will notice improvements in your reflexes, flexibility, and agility.
