Join us this Sunday! Whether you've done capoeira and zumba for a long time or never tried them before- everyone is welcome 🤸🏽‍♂️🪇🎶

It was wonderful to share capoeira with the children and young people at Fosse Way School as part of their Race Equality week.

The children and young people enjoyed learning some call and response songs, experimenting with the berimbaus and working together to practice kicks and esquivas.

We were delighted to receive the following feedback from the Deputy Headteacher!

Since we started up in February a lot has happened! We ran the push up challenge in the summer as a fundraiser, and we have used that to run many taster sessions with many charities and groups including the Full Circle Project, OTR, Borderlands, Barton Hill Activity Club and Youth Moves. Simultaneously we applied for, and won two grants! One from the Quartet Foundation to run capoeira classes for asylum seekers and refugees and another from Sports England to run classes with children and young people to improve physical and mental well being....

Advent Side Squat I don't know if you've ever had an advent calendar before...They generally last for 25 days and you either get a picture or a chocolate or, in the case of the greatest of advent calendars, a small bottle of whisky everyday. So, seeing as this challenge is for a winter fundraiser it's really easy for me to jump on the advent bandwagon to make a structure for a challenge....

We have received our first grant!
We have applied for several grants over the summer, to fund Capoeira classes for marginalized populations in Bristol, and the Quartet Community Foundation has decided to fund us.
This will allow us to provide Capoeira classes for asylum seekers living in a hotel in Bristol City Centre for one year.
Chris Lobisomem Colville has been at the hotel this week to recruit people for the class and has had a positive response.
The class is still to be arranged but will hopefully be starting with the next few weeks.
