• Recycling donation is preferred 
• Other means of supporting the choir(s) is below in the link - for those wanting to donate traditionally
• The focus is music, with movement introduced as a warmup before focusing on the choral aspect of the sports artform
• Register by text, (503)449-9091 How many children, names, ages, your relationship to the child, best way to response to you and send you more information
•  Capoeira is a music centric contact sport, even if your child is just singing or playing music there is a ever present chance that they could get hit when two other competitions miss one another or nudge each other out of the game circle
• Warm ups are just that. However, they are designed to introduce the child to martial arts concepts. In a low intensity manner of your child chooses to play, we start of with no to minimal contact, but accidents do happen - this artform is based on horsing around with one another, and the choirs sing about how well the two players can handle it - So, all participants gaurdoans must sign a waiver - make us aware of the child's potential health concerns - so that we can take these into consideration

We look forward you your child or children joining us to sing their heart out, and perhaps eventually move around with us as well.
