Capoeira
Capoeira is a Brazillian and African form of martial arts and dance. It is played as a game between two people involving a variety of kicks, dodges, acrobatics and attacks. Capoeira is played to music, which is an essential part of the art form. The game is played to the rhythm of the music played on a berimbau while the rest of the capoeiristas clap along to the beat in a circle around the game. It is a fantastic way to have fun and work out parts of your body that you don't even know about yet. It's something that you just have to see for yourself, so please stop by and join in a practice. Read more about Capoeira in the Alumni Review or visit its Web page Hamilton Capoeira.
