Maculele Kids Classes

Capoeira can challenge and educate your child physically, mentally and socially. In class with Mestrando Cocada your child will develop each of the following traits:

Physical fitness
Your child will get a fantastic workout that improves flexibility, coordination, strength, and endurance all while having fun!  Your child will also learn cool acrobatic movements.

Music
The benefits of music and language for children are well known.  In class your child will learn to play the traditional capoeira instruments and sing in Portuguese.

Self-respect
Your child will also learn the importance him or herself through physical and cultural activity.

Social growth
Capoeira is well known for its strong sense of camaraderie and togetherness - there are no teams and no one is picked last. Your child will gain great friendships with other children who share an interest in this great art form..

Creativity
Your child will have an outlet for self-expression by learning to "play" capoeira.  The "game" is never choreographed, so your child will always be challenged to be creative and strategic.

Personal growth
Capoeira can help your child develop a greater sense of responsibility, greater self-confidence, more discipline and improved self-esteem.
