Join us at the Gantt and learn Capoeira - a mix of dance and martial arts from Africa and Brazil! NC Brazilian Arts Project is a company dedicated to showcasing, educating, and supporting African-Brazilian movement arts. During this family class, which will be taught by Juan Pablo Blanco, the NC Brazilian Arts Project hopes to increase cultural exchange and community enrichment by emphasizing the social justice and the African and Indigenous roots of Capoeira. By educating ourselves on this embodied history we believe that we can foment honest discussions and practices that could support social change in the United States. The NC BAP envisions creating a culture of inclusivity while simultaneously underlining the importance of valuing the discipline required of the performance arts.This class will teach you the history and roots of this beautiful form of art, you will listen to the typical instruments of the Capoeira and sing the songs, learn to do the basic steps of it (no previous experience required) and engage actively in this community event, moving the body and nourishing the soul.
