The workshop will be taught by the instructor Fabio Silva, who has advanced that "capoeira transcends nature of martial art to become a full expression of resistance and struggle. For all this, capoeira is an expression of life, a tradition and a folk culture that they recognize as their highest value freedom. "
Fabio Silva of the 'Graos de Areia' association, has continued explaining that this Brazilian folk dance, which originated in African slaves back during the time of the Portuguese colony, can be seen as an art of self defense, "however this definition would exclude a number of other fundamental elements that form, since it is also dance, fight, play, theatricality, singing and music. "
