Capoeira, the thrilling Afro-Brazilian martial art concealed as dance, was developed in the 1500s by African slaves in Brazil and was introduced to the United States 23 years ago. Capoeira has become one of Brazil's top national sports -- second only to soccer -- and has become firmly established in the U.S. Performed with a joyfully improvised spontaneity, Capoeira combines floor movements resembling break dancing with agile acrobatic movements and kicks of grace and beauty. The Capoeira class is taught by Mestre Zumbi of Rio de Janeiro. Mestre Zumbi teaches and performs throughout the area, including Princeton University, Newark, and Manhattan. |
