Our capoeira kids are learning to do backflips.

Raul is demonstrating an armada while Noam ducks in anticipation, keeping his eyes trained on Raul.
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…


They also enjoy making joyful noises with the pandeiro.
