Preschooler Classes

Term 3 commences Sat 20th July  

 8 Week Term – (Limited Numbers)

 “As parents ourselves, we understand that many parents and families have very busy lives and we may not always have the time to participate in sports or activities. We believe that by participating in a class together with your toddler you will foster a healthy relationship, create more social opportunities and demonstrate the importance of a healthy and active lifestyle.”

The focus for these sessions is to introduce toddlers and pre-schoolers to the art of capoeira and assist them in the development of their balance, concentration, confidence, co-ordination and body control, perception, reflex and reaction, music & rhythm and timing, flexibility, attention, listening and social skills.

In our classes we sing songs (in Portuguese); clap in time and play the instruments for capoeira. We play games and do exercises to improve team skills, co-ordination, fitness, learn how to follow directions and take turns. We also introduce basic acrobatics and tumbling to improve body control, strength and balance; and of course we teach basic non-contact capoeira moves (including kicks and escapes).

The capoeira taught for this age group is non-contact and your child will learn how to control their body through the basic capoeira movements (understanding directions: forward, backward, side, over, under, around, through). Our classes focus on the children’s active participation rather than correcting their technique.

In our classes, both children and parents will have a better understanding and introduction to the art of capoeira. Children will also develop awareness of their immediate surroundings (perception and vision) and develop their reflexes all in a fun, friendly, positive and safe environment.

If you have any more questions about our class, please contact us.
