Join us for a lively afternoon filled with fun games and laughter at the "It's Never Too Late Senior Meet-up".

There will be something for everyone to participate in and have a great time. This event is not only about having fun and connecting with fellow seniors in the community but also about building relationships and fostering a sense of camaraderie. It's a great opportunity to socialize, network, and create lasting memories with like-minded individuals who share a passion for staying active and engaged.

Capoeira (capo-way-ra) is an Afro-Brazilian martial art that is unlike any other martial art. Capoeira incorporates flowing movements with kicks, dodges, and some acrobatics. It is often mistaken for a dance for those reasons. Since it’s origins in the 17th century, it has evolved from a secret fighting practice into an art emphasizing self-expression and community celebration. It is great for the body and mind! In addition to gaining strength and flexibility in class, students learn about Brazilian culture, history, and language (Portuguese). On November 26, 2014 capoeira was granted a special protected status as "intangible cultural heritage” by UNESCO. The session is offered InStudio only. **Sign up at www.piesfitnessyoga.com required at least two hours before class begins.** The address is 1322 Prince St Alexandria, VA 22314.
