Due to hall renovations, for the month of March classes in Forestville on Monday nights will be moved to a hall on Melwood Avenue  (behind the RSL) from 6:45pm. Its only about 5 minutes from the usual hall, there is a map attached of how to get into the car park and hall entrance, don’t park in the RSL carpark, keep driving around and follow the red line. There is also a link below to google maps to help you get directions!

As part of our Roda De Rua Series, this year, Capoeira Aruanda is holding a samba workshop, open to the public with the very talented dancer and teacher Cristina Ramon.

We are inviting everyone to come and join us at the Coogee Eastward Senior Citizen’s Hall on Sunday 28th February for this workshop from 12:30pm – 2pm.

Everyone is welcome to attend, however booking is essential as we have only limited places. To register and request payment details, email us and show your support on facebook. We are having a very special price for this workshop, only $30 for members of the public ($50 with a Roda De Rua designed singlet).

Let everyone know about this event and come along and dance up a storm!

Watch this space this week as we update the website with videos and photos from the first week of Roda De Rua down in Coogee! We’ll be doing it all again next week, followed by a BBQ, so stick around and grab some meat and drinks and enjoy the evening!

Roda De Rua Series 5 is returning to Coogee in February 2010 for 4 weeks! Following on from the success of Roda De Rua Series 4, we are following a similar format and will be conducting a series of workshops based on brazilian culture and dance, drumming, samba, afro dance and maculele, and also our favourite here at Capoeira Aruanda, acrobatics and backflip training.

Where is all this happening? We have a great new venue where we now have regular classes in Coogee, its the Coogee Eastward Senior Citizens Hall, only a minute walk from the beach.
