Ivan Karaivanov '06, left, crouches as Nick Gillette '06 takes to the air during a Capoeíra demonstration at World Expo in the Hall of Presidents. Capoeíra is a martial art invented by African slaves brought to Brazil by the Portuguese. Capoeírístas disguised their training as a harmless dance ritual to avoid its repression. This club practices Capoeíra Regional, which is characterized by fast, upbeat music, high kicks and acrobatics. |
