Tucum Capoeira Manchester
Capoeira is an exciting and dynamic Afro-Brazilian art-form that combines elements of movement, dance, martial arts, music, and game-play. Developed by African slaves and their descendants in Brazil, capoeira has a rich history and this beautiful art has survived through hundreds of years of exploitation and adversity. In 2014 capoeira was granted ‘Cultural Heritage Status’ by UNESCO the UN’s cultural arm. As well as being an amazingly rewarding and fun activity, the practice of Capoeira develops excellent fitness, flexibility, mobility, coordination and balance. It also enhances teamwork, communication, social skills and teaches mutual respect through its focus on working together and creating dialogues through movement. Capoeira also develops rhythm and musicality, and exposes capoeiristas to a foreign language and culture without even realizing it.
