Capoeira

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwG7JwXtUSI

So I may have told some of you but for the last 5 weeks I have been taking a capoeira class through the wellness program at UK. Capoeria is a Brazilian martial arts/dance.

This is about as far out of my comfort zone as you can get but I thought I would give it a try. It is truly a hard workout and I am usually sore for three days afterward.

One of Simon's preschool teachers performs regularly and talks to the children about it so in turn I had heard a great deal. She has been to Brazil twice to perform. Any how when the class was offered at UK, I thought why not. I can laugh at myself as we go along.

Attached is a you tube video of a girl that is unbelievable at it.

Oh my gosh, Mary. I would twist or pull something on the first move! How do you pronounce this?
