Afro Brazilian Dance
What
is Capoeira?
Capoeira
began as a dance disguised martial-arts form developed by Afro-Brazilian
slaves used in self-defense against their Portugese
slave masters in
Brazil
.
Now capoeira has spread as a sport worldwide,
involving many styles, acrobatics, kicks, dance, music and singing.
It is thought that slaves from
Angola
, who were first brought to
Brazil
in the 16th century, developed Capoeira as a
self-defense technique.
Basing themselves on traditional African dances and rituals, these slaves
practiced Capoeira in the work free hours left
to them, thus training both mind and body for combat situations. As the
slave-masters forbade any kind of martial art, it was cloaked in the guise
of an innocent-looking recreational dance. In the 17th century
escaped-slaves founded a number of "quilombos"
(hidden slave-governed territories), in which the Art of Capoeira
was further perfected.
The official prohibition of Capoeira remained
even after slavery was abolished in 1888. It was nevertheless practiced by
the poorer population on public hollidays,
during work-free hours and similar occasions. Riots, caused also by police
interference, were common. Persecution and punishment were almost
successful in eradicating Capoeira from the
"streets" of
Brazil
by the 1920's. In spite of the ban, Master Bimba
and Master Pastinha founded the first Capoeira
schools in
Salvador
,
Bahia
. Master Bimba created a new style, the "Capoeira
Regional" (as opposed to the traditional "Capoeira
Angola
") by incorporating new moves and techniques and was finally
successful in convincing the authorities of the cultural value of Capoeira,
thus ending the official ban in the 1930's.
Our
Group:
Our Greater
Vancouver group has over a hundred capoeristas
dedicated to practicing this beautiful combination of martial art, dancing
and singing. Our teacher, who is better known to us as
Rasta, has great
expertise in Capoeira and a positive attitude
towards life which makes classes as enjoyable as they can be. Our group
ABADA Capoeira is lead by its great founder
Mestre
Camisa.
Capoeira
is a genuinely Brazilian tradition, a blend of art, sport, martial arts
skills, dance, folklore, theatre and philosophy - Capoeira
promotes corporal skills, spacial and bodily
awareness, integration, team work, concentration, discipline and helps
cultivate a competitive spirit, all concepts that are essential for social
interaction, living together and personal health care.~Gregory
