Capoeira in the Classroom: Bringing
Afro-Brazilian culture to local schools
|
|
Developed from a collaboration between the Department of Spanish and Portuguese and CLAS, the Capoeira in the Classroom series introduces local K-12 students to capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian art form that combines music, singing, movement, martial arts, and acrobatics, as well as history and culture. The workshop was created and is led by Leila Vieira, Portuguese language coordinator, and Julio Beltrán Tapia, CLAS administrative assistant and trained capoeira practitioner.
Thus far Leila and Julio have conducted 14 visits to 7 local schools, reaching nearly 250 students. These visits have been very well received. Kamilah Hawthorne, 5th grade teacher at East Columbus Elementary, said: "The students were always excited when they knew our capoeira visit was near! They were engaged throughout the entire session, from playing the instruments to learning the movements. Sometimes during independent study, I still hear some of the students humming the tunes of the songs they learned. It was a unique experience that I believe many will remember."
