CAPOEIRA: An Afro-Brazilian Martial Art

Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian art form that blends dance, music, acrobatics, and martial arts — and this workshop at Sulzer Regional offers a proper introduction. Led by the Chicago Capoeira Center and Centro Cultural Quilombo, the session covers the ginga (the foundational step), traditional rhythms, and techniques rooted in resistance and cultural expression, all accompanied by berimbau, atabaque, and pandeiro. All levels are welcome, from complete beginners onward. It runs Saturday, November 7, from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM. Registration is required.
