Language Classes
The language course has been specifically designed to enable foreign students to learn Portuguese for both personal and professional use.

Drumming and Capoeira Classes
To further your knowledge and understanding of Brazilian music and culture, what better way to discover than to join drumming and Capoeira classes. During drumming classes (2-4 hours per week) you will learn different rhythms of percussion and even make your own percussion instruments! You will also learn the ancient Afro-Brazilian art form of Capoeira.
Capoeira dates back to the 16th century. Participants form a circle and take turns to play musical instruments, sing and spar in pairs in the centre of the circle. The art form consists of a fusion of dance moves and unarmed combat techniques, and music also plays an integral part, setting the tempo and style of the game.
