Capoeira

Last Monday (still catching up with posts), I got to sit in on Elida's Capoeira class. She just passed her 2nd level test and got a new belt (congrats!). I knew Elida was really into her classes, but I had no idea how hard it was. I would have collapsed within the first 15 minutes. But once I got over my astonishment, I really enjoyed the interaction and beauty of the movements.

A very very tiny part of me wanted to try. I say tiny, because I also realized personality-wise, it's probably not for me. The group is tight and works intensely together, and often each person is in the spotlight (something I wouldn't enjoy).

The end was also fantastic. Everyone formed a circle, and sang and played music together. Then they finished with each playing the visiting Master from Brazil. I'm very glad I got to see it. I'm so impressed with Elida!
