Capoeira Demonstration and Class
Monday, April 28, 2008, 7:30 PM-8:30 PM
Lakside Room, Reily Student Recreation Center
Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art characterized by music, rhythm, kicks, dodging and subterfuge. It was originally developed in the 16th century by Angolan slaves in Brazil.
Some scholars argue that capoeira emerged as a way to conceal the fact that slaves were practicing to fight (against their owners), concealing it with a seemingly happy dance routine. This explains why today's capoeira appears to be a mix of both fighting techniques and flowing artful dance. Come and join us for a fun evening and wear comfortable clothes that you can move easily in. This event is sponsored by the Tulane Undergraduate Latin
American Studies Organization (TULASO) and the Stone Center for Latin American Studies.
