Summary: Nice intro to capoeira basics
Comments: This is a nice video to learn the culture and basics of capoeira. It's a little above my current fitness level, however it's fun to watch. I endorse it for parents who want to expose their children to the art of capoeira. |

Summary: Different and challenging
Comments: This is a killer on howevert and legs and pretty amazing all-around workout. I started going back to some yoga and and started Pilates to improve my flexibility and strengthen my lower back which also helped to compliment this program. I liked trying something different and will keep it in my workout mix. |

Summary: great instruction however short in length
Comments: In my novice opinion this is a great, all Capoeira workout- I have recently been introduced to Capoeira and love the fun, challenging workouts that are part of this beautiful martial art. This video is a great way to practice what you learn in class - especially for a beginner who is still learning to combine movements. The workouts are short, however challenging. |

Summary: A fun martial arts dance
Comments: One may ask, what is capoeira? I am glad to have found out, now you should too!! This is1of the almost all fabulous exercise &, instructional programs from World Dance New York that I have gladly subjected my body to. I found Capoeria a playful, skilled dance with martial arts woven in gracefully and sublelty.1may think of martial arts and remember Bruce Lee.; however here comes Paula to put it all together as a fun,intense work out with full benefits in muscle tone, agility,and flexability.
Beginning with the warm-up, this is intense. The program incorporates level changes, kicks, torso rotations, cartwheels. You will feel e muscle in your body claim its name. The amazing thing is that upon viewing the program initially,1may have the misconception that this program is not for them. Follow through with the warm up and automatically you are hooked. Paula has a way of presenting the warm up that is friendly and inviting and not threatening even for the faithful couch potato.
The technique is explained in sections, then applied in 2 workout sessions; the 1st section introduces the basics and slow technique, the second workout session applies intense kicks, torso rotations on the floor which are quicker paced.
This dvd is rich in content and runs approximately 38 minutes.
Paula and her partners devote a section to explain the use of hand held instruments used in playing the capoeria rhyhtms, a section for exhibition of capoiera games, and then Paula herself in a skillful exhibit of her abilities in capoiera. She is beautiful to watch!!
I have been doing some of the capoeira moves only a few days, and found myself applying some of the lunges and torso balancing in my sword dancing with a quicker response time. Initally, I did not think I could follow through, the lunges were challenging, however I am glad I did.
I love this program, it is full of benefits that enrich my dance life.
