Axé

From July Contra Mestre Borracha will be running 4 week intensive acrobatics courses. ‘Intensive’ as each class will be 2 hours and have a maximum of 10 students to make sure you all get the most out of it. There will be a short break approx 15mins during class for you to rest, as acrobatics can be very demanding on your body! The course will cost $120 for the 4 weeks; for 8 hours of specialised training this is great value!

The course is focused on getting people comfortable with tumbling & jumping with the main feature being learning how to back flip and somersault. If you are already back flipping, we will book you in to the August Course for slightly more advanced acrobatics.

Please email info@capoeiraaruanda.com to confirm your participation. As places will be limited to 10 per course; let us know if you have a preference for July, August. If you have friends interested in acrobatics the course will be beginner friendly so all are welcome to participate.
