nearly 500 years of slavery. The Africans brought with them their own cultures and rituals, but were not allowed to practice them. The
movements were set to music and disguised to look like a dance or acrobatic game.
http://www.capoeirairmandade.com Classes begin with a warm up, and then proceed to focus on specific training techniques and combinations. These exercises are intended
to prepare the students for the roda (the circle which surrounds the game) in which two people spontaneously interlock movements
fueled by the singing, clapping and instrumentation of the other students. Its in the roda where you are free to explore your skills,
your fears are faced. Stretching and flexibility exercises are done after class. All Classes are taught at East West Music and Dance Studio 940 Willow Street San Jose CA 95125 Classes offered: Thursdays 7:30-9pm All Levels
Saturdays 1:30-3pm All Levels Cost:$10 per class / or 10 class cards for $80 www.capoeirairmandade.com
