What line of work are you in, or what are you studying?

I’m a Personal Assistant.

How did you get into Capoeira?

I was looking for a school for a while after having seen Capoeira being played in Germany & then found an interview in the local newspaper of a Capoeira school in my area.

How long have you been involved in Capoeira for?

I’ve been playing for almost 3 years.

What is your Favourite Capoeira move?

Ginga, it made me fall in love with Capoeira.

How has Capoeira had an impact on your lifestyle?

Capoeria has taught me confidence & awarded me with amazing friendships.

What moves are you looking to perfect over the next 6 months?

No move in particular, I just want to learn to flow with the game naturally, oh & to keep my eye on my opponent while doing even the most basic moves.

If you were an item of food, what would you be?

Salt, I could totally enhance your meal or totally ruin it if not used correctly.

If you were a rabid animal, whom would you bite?

The thought of having my teeth lodged into flesh galls me, can I remain vegetarian even as an animal please?

What song do you hate the most right now?

Hmmm, nothing comes to mind right now.

Did just mentioning that song make it get stuck in your head?

No…

Do you have any super powers?

Yes, as a matter of fact I do, but my superchic outfit is at the dry cleaners so I won’t be using my powers till I get my suit back.

If you were a light bulb, how many people would it take to change you?

One.

What are your favourite sayings?

Ya!!! A very dragged out version in a heavy coloured accent that’s extremely nasal sounding. I use it to greet, agree & patronise…slight intonations mark the change.

Favourite musician(s)/bands you’ve seen in concert?

As Kindred Spirits
