Capoeira Begins
Introduction to Capoeira begins at BTES. This seven day residency that was paid for by Title IV grant money will take place during students PE special time. Developed in Brazil by enslaved Africans during the 16th century, the martial art of Capoeira, disguised as a dance and including acrobatics, music, and the Portuguese language, was used as a means to resist oppression in the relentless struggle for freedom. This program gives students the opportunity to participate in all aspects of Capoeira while simultaneously promoting an active, healthy lifestyle. Balance, coordination, endurance, self-expression, and respect are just a few of the countless benefits Capoeira fosters in its practitioners. If anyone is interested in participating with their classes during gym time they are more than welcome to join in - sneakers and comfortable clothing for the day would be a must.
