What is Capoeira?

Capoeira is an art form that refuses to be put in a box. It’s a Brazilian tradition born from struggle and resilience—a blend of martial art, dance, acrobatics, music, and culture that is unlike anything else in the world.

​

It looks like a fight. It feels like a dance. But above all, it’s a game—a creative dialogue between two people, played in the spirit of respect, skill, and expression.

Capoeira is movement. Fluid, powerful, unexpected. You’ll learn to kick, dodge, and flow with grace and strength, training your body to be both agile and resilient.

 

Capoeira is music. The rhythms of the berimbau and atabaque set the pace while you sing songs in Portuguese that carry centuries of history and meaning.

Capoeira is community. You never practice alone. You’ll find a circle of people who train, learn, and celebrate with you—who push you to grow and support you every step of the way.

 

Capoeira is also a path to confidence and connection, a practice that challenges your mind as much as your body. It’s an opportunity to discover what you’re capable of—and to share that discovery with others.

 

If you’ve ever wanted to learn something that is physical and cultural, challenging and joyful, ancient and alive, Capoeira is waiting for you.
