What is Capoeira?

Born from the resilience of enslaved Africans in Brazil, Capoeira is a unique cultural expression disguised as a dance to avoid persecution. Today, it's celebrated worldwide for its physical prowess, musical richness, and deep philosophical roots.

When you step into a Capoeira academy, you're not just learning kicks and sweeps. You're learning to play instruments, sing songs in Portuguese, and understand the history and rituals that make this art form so profound. You're joining a community, a family.

Your First Class: What to Expect

Walking into your first class can be nerve-wracking, but don't worry! The Capoeira community is famously welcoming.

• Wear comfortable athletic clothes (like pants and a t-shirt). You'll see others in abadas (Capoeira pants), but they're not required to start.
• Classes typically start with a warm-up, followed by technique drills, sequences, and music practice.
• The class will often end with a roda, where everyone gets to play, clap, and sing—even beginners!
• You’ll leave sweaty, maybe a little confused, but almost certainly with a huge smile on your face.
