Join us on Sunday (July 7th) noon-2pm with your keiki to explore Afro-Brazilian martial arts! It is extremely active, acrobatic, playful, and it provides a fun challenging workout. Our featured teacher for July is Haru Kutsukake. Disco Kidz is our monthly family event, filled with hands-on art, dance, and games. Suggested for keiki ages 2-11.

Disco Kidz July Fun: CAPOEIRA!

$15 per child; entry fee covers art materials and accompanying adults.

Children of all ages can learn Capoeira very quickly, and the fun and friendly class environment helps to develop kids' confidence and self-esteem. Capoeira movements involve the use of the entire body, so kids can improve their strength, coordination, reflexes and flexibility at the same time. Capoeira music also motivates and creates an exciting learning atmosphere as they sing in Portuguese and play the traditional Capoeira instruments such as Berimbau, Pandeiro, Atabaque, Reco-Reco and Agogo. Most of all, Capoeira is a great activity to make new friends!

About Chanel Tanaka



Hawaii born artist Chanel Tanaka first encountered painting and drawing at a very young age. A hobby quickly turned into a passion, which transformed into a life changing career. Her main focus is on acrylic paintings with expanding interests into mixed media, including metallic paints. The artwork features a contemporary Asian silohuette style. Inspired by traditional Japanese Geisha and Samurai, her paintings embody Japanese, lifestyle, culture and architecture.

Silhouette - A silhouette is the image of a person, an object or scene consisting of the outline and a featureless interior, with the silhouetted object usually being black. Traditionally, a silhouette is a form of artwork, the term originating in the 18th century and applied to portraits or other pictorial representations cut from thin black card.[1] Silhouette images may be created in any artistic media, but the tradition of cutting portraits from black card has continued into the 21st century.

From its original graphic meaning, the term "silhouette" has been extended to describe the sight or representation of a person, object or scene that is backlit, and appears dark against a lighter background. Anything that appears this way, for example, a figure standing backlit in a doorway, may be described as "in silhouette".

Chanel currently co-created the Geisha: Women of Art Show that incorporates art, fashion, dance, and body-painting to create an interactive sensual feast.
