Rhythmscape: Tara Borgilt and Bruno Trindade teach Capoeira

Downtown Pittsfield, Inc. has announced a new summer dance series titled “Rhythmscape” on Dunham Mall, select Sunday afternoons from 6 to 8 pm, June 1 – August 31. Dunham Mall can be located by entering 100 North Street on your GPS.

Each session will highlight a different rhythm and instructor from our local community, reflecting the many identities that make Pittsfield home. Rhythmscape is free and open to all and encourages everyone to experience the joy of movement and the beauty of cultural exchange. No experience is necessary to participate.

Tara and Bruno are instructors with Capoeira Gunga do Vale, a community of dedicated kids and adults playing capoeira in Northampton, MA. They offer multiple classes a week for all ages.

Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art and game that includes elements of dance, acrobatics, music, and spirituality.

Tara and Bruno’s approach is accessible, creative, and holistic and involves movement, music, and play in every class. Through interactive games and exercises, students explore trust and expression, and gain body-awareness, flexibility, and strength. Tara and Bruno love to share this nourishing art form that feeds body, mind and soul!
