Capoeira
Capoeira Pasifika Mandinga Aotearoa - New Zealand
Capoeira? You say it like this 'Kap - o -ee- ra'! It's a cool kind of martial art dance with music - a mix between Break-Dance and Kung Fu! Check it out at this show. You'll want to join in! And you can. Capoeira was made up by African slaves in Brazil more than 200 years ago. Now, people all over the world are doing it! It's even used in Playstation games!
What to expect:
Ten performers will present three short Capoeira dances. This is followed by a workshop - with all children joining in the final performance. During the workshops, children work in small groups visiting different stations to find out about the five main components of Capoeira.
