Candeias Capoeira – Kids – CANCELLED
In learning Capoeira, students ages 5 to 8 develop skills in self-defense, acrobatics, fitness, instrument playing, rhythm and singing, language skills, teamwork, and strategy development.
Capoeira instills the values of responsibility and self-confidence while awakening creativity through the development of self-expression. In class a student develops body awareness through the use of self-defense skills, acrobatics, and general fitness.
Capoeira increases memory, balance, mood and behavior, and like any regular physical activity, is the first defense against childhood obesity. Children are mentally engaged through instrument playing, rhythm and singing, language skills, teamwork, and strategy development, all while understanding limits and respect for one another.
Graduada Água-Viva has over 10 years of experience teaching youth programs through Capoeira and gymnastics. She leads the West Seattle kids class and teaches in Seattle area public and private schools under the direction of her teacher, Contra Mestre Fenix.
