From capoeira into contact dance
Details
In this workshop, we will explore partnering exercises inspired by Capoeira Angola and weight-sharing practices from contact improvisation. We work with rhythm, balance, and responsiveness to build trust and clear physical dialogue.
We'll add a fresh layer to Contact Improvisation practice by bringing in Capoeira Angola kicks—not as strikes, but as new ways to enter weight-sharing, redirect momentum, and expand how you communicate through movement.
Expect clear tools, playful exchanges, and a few “oh wow that worked” moments.
These workshops are open to anyone interested in exploring movement as a way to deepen body awareness, improve mobility and enjoy dancing in connection with others.
No prior experience in capoeira or contact improv required.
You don't need to know capoeira or contact improv to join!
