Tchik-Tchik-BOOM!
Lucas loves capoeira, the Brazilian martial art that combines music, dance, and acrobatics. He's been practicing his moves all week for his batizado-his moving-up ceremony-where he'll get his capoeira nickname.
But today, Lucas has…the nerves! Scared he'll lose his ginga-his courage and rhythm-in the capoeira circle, Lucas plays his trusty tamborim for comfort. Then he remembers his Papai's powerful words: your ginga lives inside of you. With a little help from his community, Lucas discovers that his courage is never too far away.
