on the town with the girls, Capoeira is “is an Afro-Brazilian martial art created by enslaved Africans during the 16th Century,” and it is also one heck of a work out! A cross between Kung Fu and breakdancing, Capoeira is a fascinating game of physical strength and mental prowess.
Want to explore the art of Capoeira? Classes are being offered every Thursday at the Jackie Robinson Recreation Center located at 85 Bradhurst Avenue. The instructor is Graduado Quemido and the classes are free with center membership.
Thursdays 6:30-8:30 p.m.
