INTERNATIONAL CUTLURAL EXCHANGE
We have developed and international exchange program where we take students from the United States and submerge them into a 3 week long cultural experience of their life time. We offer three different exchanges, (1) Capoeira- Brazilian Martial Arts, (2) Hip-hop, (3) Capoeira and Hip-hop.WHAT IS CAPOEIRA?
Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial arts developed initially by African enslaved people in Brazil, starting in the colonial period. It is marked by deft, tricky movements often played on the ground or completely inverted. It also has a strong acrobatic component in some versions and is always played with music. There are two main styles of Capoeira that are clearly distinct. Angola is characterized by slow, lower play with particular attention to the rituals and tradition of Capoeira. The other style, Regional, is known for its fluid acrobatic play, where technique and strategy are the key points. Both styles are marked by the use of feint and subterfuge, and use groundwork extensively, as well as sweeps, kicks, and headbutts.CAPOEIRA CLASSES ARE NOW BEING OFFERED IN PORTLAND, CONTACT ACHE BRAZIL FOR MORE INFORMATION!!!!!HIP-HOP/BREAKDANCING PROGRAM:
