The Capoeira

Tonight we have learnt the 'capoeira' - a combination of dance, martial arts and music....so fun!! This has originated from Africa...but a big part of the Brazilian culture.  If you want to know more about it just google it - wikipedia has a good history and information about it.

On Sunday we saw it done properly in the market place - it was amazing. So we thought we would give it a go ourselves!!

Here are a two photos of me and my friends practicing and learning the Capoeira...
