Discover the art of Capoeira, a 500-year-old Afro-Brazilian martial art that combines elements of acrobatics, dance, music, and self-defense. As a strong symbol of Brazilian culture, Capoeira is now practiced by millions of people across all continents.

 

This vibrant and energetic activity is designed for ALL children, helping them significantly improve coordination and balance, develop strength and flexibility, learn graceful movements, build confidence, and boost their self-esteem. The practice also fosters interpersonal skills, instills values of respect, and promotes teamwork.

 

In a typical class, our young practitioners will be constantly moving — kicking, dodging, jumping, and flowing to the rhythm of the music — while engaging in friendly games with their peers. Capoeira is a fantastic way to be and remain active, connect with a rich culture, learn invaluable skills, and most importantly, have fun!
