If you’re interested in learning more about how your teacher will approach their class, it can be helpful to reach out prior and ask them targeted questions. You might be curious about whether or not the teacher thinks it’s important to get to know each student in the class individually and how they tend to the relationship over time. As Capoeira is a discipline people may choose to study over a long period of time, understanding your teacher’s long-term approach ahead of time may give you a good foundation from which to begin. Starting off in a place of comfort where you can build rapport with your teacher will aid in that foundation.
