From now on, the Capoeira section and the Breakdance section will be separated. Both characters (the Capoeira Mavi and the Break Mavi) are getting a new design, and all the older lessons will be redesigned. Please check back for updates. Breakdancing (breaking, b-boying, or b-girling) originated among African Americans somewhere in the Bronx, New York. Capoeira was originally only meant to be a martial art. Brazilian slaves pretended to practice dancing techniques when they were actually working on fighting skills. Many Capoeira techniques are also seen in breakdancing. Tricking involves acrobatic moves from gymnastics, martial arts, and dancing.
