🥋 Intro to Capoeira (21 Sep, Mon)
Have you ever heard of capoeira? Capoeira is a Brazilian art form that was created by enslaved Africans brought to Brazil during the Transatlantic slave trade. It is most often described as a martial art, although it looks very different from kung fu, judo or karate. Some also describe it as a dance and it makes sense, as it is a lot about flow and body expression. But it doesn't stop there! Capoeira is also about singing and playing different musical instruments. And most importantly, it is about being part of a community and having fun!
Would you like to give it a try? Then join us for an introductory class organized by the Faculty of Arts! Capoeira is for everyone, whatever their physical condition - just wear comfortable sport clothes and be ready to learn basic movements, and perhaps a song or two!
📅 Date: 21 September 2026 (Monday)
🕐 Time: 1:00–2:00 pm
📍 Venue: Arts Tech Lab (RRST-4.35)
🔗 Register here: https://hku.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_etX8WeCUr3VHoQm
