For the past few weeks our school has hosted the Arts Connection group, and this was our week to have a representative from the group in our class. Mrs. "S", as she likes to be called, taught us about "Capoeira", a type of dance/martial arts from Brazil. "Capoeira" was orgininally performed by slaves who came from Africa to Brazil. "Capoeira" was really strength-training and self-defense for the slaves. They were able to practice in sight of the slave-masters because it looked like they were dancing. They learned to be bold, strong, and self-confident.
Since they were living in Brazil, they spoke Portugese, so we were able to learn some words in Portugese.
We learned ginga which was the basic movement in Capoeira.
We learned "au" which is a cartwheel.
We learned "esquiva" which is a block, or escape moved.
We learned "berimbau" which was the instrument that was played in the songs when they performed "Capoeria".
What will you most remember about Capoeria? What was your favorite move to peform? What did you learn? Share these thoughts with me!
