This is the introduction lesson to my Capoeira scheme of work. In this lesson students will learn the basic actions (images and video linked in resource). Please note it is best that you learn these actions yourself prior to delivering the class so you can demonstrate them. Students then create their own short sequence as a soloist and then develop this in pairs. At the end of the lesson students watch an excerpt from A Linha Curva to reflect on how Itziki Galili incorporated this in his work (Links to GCSE). The full scheme of work and resources are available in my shop should you like this lesson.
