Capuera/Capoeira: Dance as a fight. Capoeira is both a dance and a fight - a combination of gymnastics, dance and martial arts as well as music, culture, history and knowledge. Capoeiristas learn to balance the physical with the mental as well as play many instruments and sing. In many ways, it may be viewed as a charade, full of secrets and deception. Evolving about 500 years ago, Capuera was originally developed in Brazil by African slaves (thought to be the Bantu), as an improvised form of martial arts disguised as a dance. Once in the circle, the two players interact with a series of jumps, kicks, flips, hand and headstands and other ritualistic moves.
