Capoeira workshop hosted by CLAS brings together the Midwest Capoeira community in Colombus

On Saturday, October 28, the Center for Latin American Studies hosted a Capoeira workshop and a Capoeira road (circle) with Mestre Lobinho, a Capoeira master with over 25 years of experience in this art form. The event took place at the Tuttle Park Community Center, where CLAS Outreach Coordinator, Julio Beltrán, teaches capoeira classes for kids and adults every week.
This event aimed to bring together people from the community, to create a space for capoeira practitioners to gather and interact, as well as invite community members to know a bit more about this Afro-Brazilian art form, that combines movement, martial art, music, and popular culture.
To know more about the Capoeira in the Classroom Project, and the Capoeira classes for the public, you can contact Outreach Coordinator, Julio Beltrán at beltrantapia.1@osu.edu
