CAPOEIRA – THE DANCE OF FREEDOM

The slaves who worked on the Brazilian plantations used Capoeira to defend themselves. Due to its prohibition by the Portuguese colonialists, capoeiristas practiced their art in secret, usually pretending to dance a mysterious dance. Everyone can practice Capoeira, from the youngest to the oldest. Maybe you won't be able to "walk" with your hands. However, you can use the simplest techniques and, in this way, fascinate those around you. All the basic techniques of Capoeira – both simple and complex – are described in detail in this book. The plans and the use of simple language help the reader to understand and execute them without encountering problems or difficulties. Dress appropriately, open the book, listen to whatever kind of music pleases you and start dancing. Volta Do Munto, then. Let the dancing begin!
