What is Capoeira?

Capoeira is a unique blend of rhythm, movement, and history deeply rooted in Afro-Brazilian culture and its traditions. While incorporating elements of fight and defense, it stands out as a non-competitive game, promoting teamwork and an understanding of the fight for freedom and resistance. Beyond that, it is an art form that uses intentional movement and music, introducing participants to the beautiful Portuguese language and the tales it tells.

Capoeira truly comes to life during the "Roda"—a dynamic circle formed by people who play music, sing, clap, and take turns entering the center to create a challenging physical game. The Roda is both a ritual and a celebration: it's where the energy of the community, the rhythm of the instruments, and the improvisation of this game unite to create a living expression of connection, creativity, and resilience.
