| Capoeira |
| Students learn capoeira with Mr. Kelly two days a week after school. Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian art form that combines martial arts, dance and music. It was created by slaves in Brazil in the 19th century as a form of resistance. Capoeira is a lot of fun and great exercise! Our capoeira program has been running since October 2008 and the students have learned a lot. We've even taken two trips to Gingarte Capoeira Academy in Pilsen to train with adult capoeristas! We'll be continuing capoeira in the fourth quarter and Mr. Kelly is looking into organizing a class for students over the summer. |
