Contra-Mestre Lucas drops in on Cidade de Ouro

The Capoeira Cidade de Ouro collective were graced with Contra-Mestre Lucas’s presence on 26 August at their afternoon class at the Discovery Scout Hall.

After many years of not training with the Capoeira master, the team was delighted to experience being part of his class.

The expert gave a high-intensity workout that lasted 70 minutes starting with a warm-up of a mixture of Capoeira and Zumba.

Even with a class packed to capacity, everyone in attendance thoroughly enjoyed themselves .

The team was reminded to keep an open mind when training and embrace new possibilities when communicating with their bodies.

Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art form that combines elements of dance, acrobatics and music. Some call it a game.
