The Capoeira ritual circle known as "Roda" is recognized by UNESCO as Immaterial Cultural Heritage. Our objective will be to learn the basics skills and knowledge to create that Roda, its quintessential moment. We will learn reactions, movements, rhythms, and songs understanding how they work together as a cultural expression and a form of art. Capoeira is a game about collective connection where two participants challenge each other for fun and not for competition while the rest of the players create the ambience to keep the flow of this game by singing and playing music.

Experience has been carried out by artist Maria Cruz Urquijo, with more than 25 years of experience in painting and sculpture. Based in Paraty, she runs her atelier in the Historic Centre, showing her story through her artistic path. The Art- Painting class is divided into 4 steps: 1 - Brief introduction to the art with sketching exercises, using the fingers or the pencils. Along with a pleasant discussion of the creative process. 2 - Choose format and material to start painting and get to work on your creation. 3 - Coffee break and discuss about production 4 - Finish details of the paiting If you love art and come to Paraty, you can't lose this opportunity!
