Auntie Clarice - Instructor
Heyyyy! Glad you was able to make it to checkout my Capoeira Angola Summer Series. Get ready for some fun in the sun with me, Clarice. I will be guiding you through the basics of Capoeira Angola. I've been living in DC my whole life and haven't heard of Capoeira until 2004 when someone posted an open house for a new capoeira school on Myspace. Yep, that's how old I am. : ) I got hooked and been a student of Dale Marcelin at the Universal Capoeira Angola Center for over 10 years. Half of that time I've took on the role of a student teacher for the center teaching new students and assisting with after school programs at various schools throughout the DMV. I am auntie to a niece, two nephews and all the children I've had the pleasure of connecting and teaching Capoeira to. I love nature and being outdoors. Excited to meet you as I introduce you to the fundamentals of the music, the dance and the fight movements of Capoeira Angola. Ohhh, you also will learn a snippet of Brazilian Portuguese along the way.
