Our traditional Friday Open Roda was the only roda of its kind in London, offering a weekly space for Capoeiristas from all groups and styles to get together, play capoeira and share their passion for the artform. We aim to keep alive this tradition that spans the centuries, and nowadays spans the continents and connects people from all cultures and backgrounds.
Founded in 1983 in São Paolo, Brazil, today MarAzul can be found in London and Southampton (UK) and Maputo (Mozambique). Since its foundation, MarAzul has implemented social, educational and cultural projects and programmes using Capoeira.
Capoeira is a great way of developing coordination, fitness, flexibility, rhythm and movement. And it's great fun! Children will warm up with stretches and gentle exercises, learn the basic steps of capoeira like the 'ginga', kicks and defensive movements. They will also practice movements like handstands and cartwheels which are part of the Capoeira game. Classes are suitable for ages 7 and up. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a water bottle. Parents please stay during the class. Thursdays 4.30-5.30pm. Venue: Edmund Kell Unitarian Church, Bellevue Road, Southampton SO15 2AY. Price: £8/class or payable per half term at £6.50/class.
