Capoeira music class ... the only one in Cambridge!!!!
Today is the music class down at Ross street community centre (CB1 3UZ) from 5.45 to 7.15 (Please enter through big blue door on Ross Street which says "hall users only).
It is the only capoeira music class in cambridge, so please make the most of it. Especially since music is what brings the energy to the movements (and not the other way around!)
The full bateria functioning is explained together the different rythms and variations of all instruments (gunga, medio, viola, pandeiros, reco-reco, agogo and atabaque). We also learn different ladainhas and corridos.
Please support the class by coming... and don't forget your instrument if you have one!
Hope to see you there,
The Capoeira Angola Cambridge Team

How to get to the squash court on Monday: you need to go to the end of the Cranmer Road and go through the left of the gate that's at the end. The pedestrian passage is always open and it's closed for cars (plenty of parking space before you reach the gate). Follow the path for something like 30 m and you'll see sports grounds and two small buildings on either side. We're interested in the one on the right - door will be open.
