Watch this fun, interactive performance where we partnered with our awesome friends at Circles for Life to introduce capoeira to a spirited group of students.
The Family Dances performs with Circles for Life as part of a program at an elementary school.
In 2019, filmmaker Serene Khaalid features James in her short documentary, The Secret of Movement: The Capoeira Story. He speaks about the African roots of capoeira, shares some of the cultural and political history of capoeira as resistance and liberation art, and draws connections between the African Brazilian martial art form and contemporary African American culture. James also plays the berimbau, sings a traditional capoeira song, and plays capoeira with Bounce.
