Capoeira Featured on “Curious Kids”

Capoeira was recently featured on WGCU’s Curious Kids. The children’s television program is sure to sate the hungriest of young curiosities about environments and cultures here and far away.

Curious Kids Ambassador, program producer and children’s singer-songwriter Rosie Emery says each episode will include a music video featuring one of her fun songs. Revolving around three main themes — my backyard, my world and my self — segments of the show will be filmed on location throughout Southwest Florida, from the coastline to the woodlands, from interesting non-profit organizations and parks to gyms and roadside attractions. New episodes will premiere on a quarterly basis.

We offer kids classes twice a week. For more information please check our class schedule.
