Capoeira!

For anybody who is interested and may not have gotten the word last week, there is a Capoeira class at Riley. Capoeira is an Afro-Brasilian martial art/ dance/ game/ what have you and is particularly relevant right now because it originated from the slave culture - you can tell a lot of the style comes from having bound hands. Here's a short history if this stuff grabs you at all.

Anybody can show up to the class just to check it out without actually signing up or whatever. Classes are Wednesday 8-10, Thursday 8-10, Friday 6-8, and Sunday 7-9. Also, here are some videos to hopefully wow you.
