Capoeira (pronounced capwear-ah) traditionally featured precise kicks, spins and gravity-defying acrobatic moves. However, the latest incarnation of the art form, known as Boneco Capoeira, has been designed as an exercise program taught at Bally’s Total Fitness Centers nationwide.

With a kickboxing background, Allegra Feamster, group fitness instructor and personal trainer in Chicago, was a logical choice to teach capoeira. She studied with Mestre Boneco, co-founder of the L.A. studio, where capoeira classes first kicked off, literally. “The music kind of drives it,” says Feamster, noting capoeira’s infectious theme music, which is accented with Portuguese chants, drums and the berimbau, an African string instrument. “I even learned a little bit of Portuguese.”

Participants might find themselves moving easily to the upbeat music while Feamster demonstrates the ginga (pronounced jin-ga), which is the basic movement in the workout that includes four steps, starting with a backward lunge, or back ginga, which progresses into a side turn and a squat, followed by another turn and forward stance. The controlled series of ginga moves create an effective lower-body workout, averaging from 500 to 850 calories per workout, depending on an individual’s body type.

Music is copyrighted as soon as you present it in a fixed form. It doesn’t matter whether that fixed form is written sheet music or a recording. Most people who copyright music do so for the extra legal protection. Even though a copyright is good to have, it is essentially worthless unless you’ve registered your copyright with the Library of Congress. You will need to fill out an application, pay a fee, and provide a copy of your music. As far as government dealings go, this is one of the least painful. Even the application fee is marginal when you consider the fact you are protecting potential future profits and royalties from your music.

Even if you aren’t a talented performer, it doesn’t mean your music will never be seen or heard, nor does it mean you should not bother copyrighting your music. One day you might find yourself more in demand for your talents than you ever dreamed possible. It is important to protect your music now more than ever before in history due to widespread music piracy and illegal music file-sharing.

Once you understand how to copyright music, you should copyright every sheet of music which you have produced. This involves registering each and every piece of music with the Library of Congress. Even if you must copyright one piece at a time until you manage to copyright all of them, it is much better to be safe than sorry should you ever go to trial in a copyright infringement case.
