ILĘ BAHIA DE SAN
ANTONIO CAPOEIRA TROUPE
 If
you ask ten people to describe capoeira, you will most likely hear ten
very different answers. Capoeira has been described as a martial art, a
dance, an art form, a form of self-defense, or any hybrid of these. Many
people often use more than one of these definitions in the same breath
when describing this form of movement that combines spins, turns,
precisely-aimed kicks, evasive defense moves, and breathtaking acrobatics
into a rich fabric of motion, percussion, and song. To learn more about
capoeira, visit Ilę Bahia on the Web.
These programs are free and open to the public. Due to limited seating, a
ticket is required for admission. Free tickets will be available at each
location approximately one week prior to the program date.
