Saturday Morning Live! Presents: Capoeira with EducArte

Experience the vibrant Afro-Brazilian tradition of capoeira, a blend of dance, music, acrobatics, and martial arts! Through interactive play, EducArte’s instructors introduce you to capoeira’s dynamic movements, drumming, and call-and-response songs, fostering creativity and cooperation in a fun, inclusive environment.

Performances will take place at 10am on November 8th and 22nd in the Helen Hayes Gallery of The National Theatre, located at 1321 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20004. Children will be encouraged to sit on rainbow mats on the floor and parents to sit in chairs behind.

Registration is FREE but donations are welcome. In the event of a sellout, please feel free to join the waitlist; we also accept walk-ups, pending the availability of space.

This performance is ideal for children ages 3-6 but all are welcome!

This performance will be ASL-interpreted. The space is wheelchair accessible.
