CAPOEIRA: AFRO-BRAZILIAN MARTIAL ARTS, MUSIC & DANCE
Grade 7 Band Field Trip
The Grade 7 Band will be going to the Firehouse Center for the Arts in Newburyport, MA to see the Capoeira. From the streets of Brazil comes Capoeira: a unique hybrid of martial arts and dance in which partners pair off and spar in graceful, fluid motions, incorporating acrobatic flips and tumbles, all to the lively rhythms of Afro-Brazilian drumming. Using traditional costumes, colorful maps, live music, Portuguese language, and direct student engagement, the Afro-Brazilian Ensemble brings this unique movement form to life within its cultural context. In addition to Capoeira, two other important dance styles, the Maculele and the Samba, are introduced. Student volunteers will be called upon to get up and try out some moves.
