Capoeira is a collective art form that brings together dance, music, acrobatics and martial arts. It was created four centuries ago by African slaves in Brazil in their struggle for freedom and survival and is now enjoyed by people of all ages and backgrounds in Brazil and throughout the world. It is practiced in a communal setting, within a circle of players or "roda". Set to a hypnotic, pulsing rhythm, capoeira calls for intuition, skill, grace and physical strength.

FAQ
Do I have to be in peak physical condition?
NO! Capoeira involves strength, flexibility, endurance, and aerobic conditioning. Build up strength slowly, working within your own limitations. Everyone has something to contribute to and from Capoeira, regardless of body type, weight, sex and age. Find your unique contribution! Be patient with yourself and remember that anything worthwhile takes time. To get the most out of class, plan on attending every session.
What can I expect from a typical class?
Classes generally begins with an exercise to get the blood flowing to the
muscles and increase the heart rate. This is followed by a series of stretches and practice of Capoeira movements. The last part of class features a roda (pronounced ho-da) where students use the movements learned in the earlier part of class to improvise and play the game of Capoeira.
