In spite of bad weather forecast, we had a very nice day at Marion Street Park Association Block Party.
We were very pleased to set our accommodations inside the beautiful Marion Street Park.
Ile De Palmares’s demonstration on the street.
Their music and performance attracted people.
Some girl wanted to learn capoeira right away.
They held instruction workshop to kids individually at glorious lawn space of the park too.
Some kids were very enthusiastic for learning capoeira techniques.
Our collaborator, Yuki of Home Cooking of the World, cooked Curry Noodle Soup.
She explained to people about why it is important for her project, and ingredients of the soup of the day during her cooking.
Enjoy the food!
We set a new parasol for a play yard and priority seats area.
We set a new small private place for potty training.
A new setting with an electric pumping tool, and a fan.
About Ile De Palmares:
Capoeira (cap·o·ei·ra) is an Afro-Brazilian martial art disguised as a dance. It was created in the 16th century by enslaved Africans in Brazil who used it to liberate themselves. We hold classes almost every day of the week at a variety of locations throughout New York City, for both adults and children. Beginners and advanced students are welcomed. Classes are held in Long Island City, Queens; Williamsburg, Brooklyn; Lower East Side, Manhattan; and Flushing, Queens.
We are a community of like-minded individuals who support each other and strive towards understanding our true potential. Together, we are committed to a lifetime journey of mental, physical and spiritual growth.
Ready for an experience of your life? Our classes are an hour and a half which consist of a warmup, stretching, basic Capoeira movements, music and games. Arrive to class with comfortable clothing, a bottle of water and a smile.
One Stop Family Pop Up is supported by Citizens Committee for New York City, and fiscally sponsored by New York Foundation for the Arts.
