Thanks to Brenda we have some really nice looking cardboard for our Kids Capoeira cityscape mural. The adult capoeira class was kind enough to pitch in and help paint the base coat. Getting to know each other and our new student Alice while painting was really fun and added to the energy we brought to our 'slammin' music class! Thanks to Alice, Sarah, Bruno, Brenda and Robert! And thanks to everyone for helping John to keep the beat, he was working so hard he was sweating!!! By Jove I think he's got this! With Bruno and Sarah on either side as training wheels how could he NOT!!! You guys were relentless! Great team work!!
A tip from Sarah, want to make that great little rumble sound when you play the pandero? Just squeeze your middle finger to thumb really hard 'til they sweat THEN when you drag your fingertip along the skin it will stick a little bit and sort of bounce it's way across the head. Remember you gotta squeeze your fingers 'til they SWEAT that's her secret!!! And she swears by it! All those with naturally sweaty fingertips need not read!
Peace to you this day! Mae

New Store Opening!
I am excited to be hitting the streets with Kids Capoeira after class on Saturday to pass out Kick or Treat fliers and visit Expressly Local (the areas first local produce and products store) to spread good Axé on their opening day! Express Locally is located at 213 W. King Street Lancaster PA.
As a Capoeirsta it's not only important to train and play right but we must also eat right! Also to me it's important to support local businesses and "mom and pop" shops. Hopefully as we go for our Saturday walk we will meet and greet other businesses and folks who feel the same way. Peace to you this day, Mae
PS Don't forget to bring painting clothes for when we get back to the studio because all you big kids will be helping to paint the Brazilian cityscape mural to be used for the little kids capoeira corner!

Wow! As my instructor Coqui would say.
Wow! I am so grateful to Justin for helping me to get the word out about Kids Capoeira in this amazing form of 'websiting' my own word! And Wow! I am so glad to be able to take my old fashion linear calendar and post it so quickly to so many people. Now the next step will be to use the cyber calendars and agendas to their fullest capacities but for now please read over our upcoming events and classes and spread the word. Wow! and a huge thank you to my instructor Carlos 'Coqui' Rodriguez who keeps me in good capoeira condition (when he's not injuring me ;)! ) so I can continue to teach Kids Capoeira.
Wow! and Axé, Mae
