Capoeira class at UofM 2024

Contact improvisation with capoeira emphasizes the use of balance, body awareness, and trust. Dancers engage in a continuous dialogue through touch and movement, responding to each other's impulses and intentions. This practice challenges participants to be present, responsive, and adaptable in the moment.
The combination of contact improvisation and capoeira not only creates a visually captivating performance but also cultivates a deep sense of connection and collaboration. It allows dancers to explore the boundaries of their bodies, push their physical limits, and develop a heightened sense of kinesthetic awareness.
