Capoeira is offered for children ages 4-12 at 4:45pm on Mondays. Capoeira is a form of self-defense originating in Brazil from West African roots, particularly Angola. Capoeira is done typically in a "roda" (pronounced "hoda") or circle with music ("Bateria") on traditional instruments and group singing. Capoeira teaches concentration through maintaining eye contact with one's sparring partner while kicking, spinning, jumping, doing aerial moves, handstands, cartwheels and more with the most careful glinting edges between people but without direct physical contact. Community, self-awareness, energy, freedom, balance and strength as well as beautiful movements flow from this practice.

Accompanied by beautiful music, learn basic footwork, arms, undulations, locks, mayas and shimmies- the movement signatures used in Arabic dance. Layers and isolations make this a dance that gives back to the body in strength and beauty. Be ready for a great workout! Bare feet or soft-soled dance shoes recommended for this class (jazz shoe, ballet slipper, lyrical sandals or dance paws-socks okay too). This class ends with combos, or will work on an ongoing choreography that will bring the dance home into your body memory.

Congolese Dance with live drumming, Tuesday nights at 6PM . Arnaud "Nano" Loubayi is an extraordinary human being and teacher of dance and drum from his native homeland of Congo. Beginners are welcome and highly encouraged! We are honored to host the high energy, joyful dance of Congo here in Watsonville, convenient for South County and North Monterey County folks too. Here you will find intricate rhythms taught from the ground up, stories in the dances which teach about life. Here you will find freedom for your hips and pelvis, fun and funky knees, soft belly. You will liberate your torso by moving your rib cage unconventionally, and extend your arms all the way back to the Ancestors.
