Brazilian Martial Arts Classes Merge Music, Dance, Acrobatics

Joel Mendelez from Oddfellows Playhouse is teaching this six-week course at the Green Street Arts Center in Middletown.

Capoeira is a unique Brazilian martial arts form that brings together music, dance, and acrobatics to build community.

Participants learn to sign, play instruments, and improve their balance and flexibility as well as how to physically and mentally challenge one's self and opponents while building self-confidence in a game-like environment. 

Capoeira Classes at Green Street Arts Center begin on Oct. 29. Sign up today.
