Student Performance Feature

Moulton Elementary Presents: Roots Capoeira: Empowering children and families to recognize their physical and creative potential through an Afro-Brazilian martial art.
While in class, students study eight basic elements of Capoeira: Ginga, Escapes, Kicks, Movements, Partner Sequences, Roda, Music, and the Portuguese language. Children bring all of these elements together to express themselves through their own unique Capoeira “game”, which is played between two people in the middle of a circle.
