Class on Labour Day

The majority has voted to keep the class going next Thursday 1st May as most of us aren’t working that day.

No class on Good Friday

The young ones love to sing Capoeira songs in Portuguese while clapping their hands in time! It’s amazing how fast they pick up the songs in a heartbeat and sing them back to you word by word by the next lesson! And their top favourites? Paraná é…Paraná é…Paraná followed by la la é, la la é, la la é la la é la… and er, zum zum zum capoeira mata um…
