CAPOEIRA
Emily has been teaching Capoeira at the Old Town School of Folk Music since 2000. She has studied dance and acrobatics since she was a child and has been training with Gingarte Capoeira of Chicago (the largest Capoeira organization in the Midwest) since 1997. Important to learning the art, Emily travels to Brazil every other year for training. In July of 2005, she received the ‘cordao’ or cord that recognizes her as an official instructor of Capoeira under her teacher, Marisa Cordeiro. Emily has taught at Columbia College, Hales Franciscan High School, the Chicago Park District, Menomonee Boys and Girls Club, Common Threads and at several schools and festivals in Chicago. She has performed with Gingarte Capoeira for eight years at such places as the Field Museum, Summer Solstice at the MCA, the Brazilian Consulate, African Heritage Festival in Cincinnati, and Ruth Page Center for the Arts.
