EVENT DESCRIPTION

Whether you want to pick up self-defence skills or learn some cool moves, NTUAC's Capoeira Workshop is the right place for you!

Capoeira is a Brazilian martial arts form that disguises self-defence practices as a dance. It involves a wide range of bodily techniques, including acrobatics and floreios and is performed to call-and-response musical accompaniment that consists of berimbaus (struck musical bows), atabaques (single-headed, standing, conical drums), pandeiros (tambourines), agogo (double bell), and a reco-reco (scraped bamboo tube).

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

Terence’s (also known as Tempero in the Capoeira community) passion for Capoeira began in 2000 when he joined the initial interest group in Singapore. Since then he has trained in a few different schools and dedicated his passion to learning this beautiful and unique Afro Brazilian Art form. The further he delved into Capoeira, the more his passion for Brazilian culture grew. This led him to take his first trip to Brazil in 2008 as a sort of pilgrimage to experience and learn from the source. Aside from Capoeira, he has also been involved with other Brazilian performing art forms like the Samba dance and Samba Batucada (percussion).

Terence is currently leading and teaching in the Singapore branch of his Capoeira teacher and master - Mestre Xuxo who founded his own school called Pelo Sinal da Santa Cruz. Terence is also a swimming instructor/coach by day and has worked with children, teenagers and adults in the international and local community for over twenty years.
