Capoeira

Experience the Afro-Brazilian art form of Capoeira, a dynamic intersection of dance, acrobatics, martial arts, music, and culture. Rooted in resistance, resilience, and community, Capoeira invites dancers to explore movement as both expression and connection while building strength, coordination, rhythm, and confidence.

Students will learn foundational Capoeira movements, partner work, and sequences while developing musicality through singing in Portuguese and playing traditional instruments such as the berimbau and pandeiro. Classes emphasize creativity, collaboration, improvisation, and respect for the cultural traditions and histories of Capoeira. Through movement, music, and community-building, dancers will deepen their artistry while experiencing the energy, playfulness, and joy that make Capoeira unique.

Ages 10-18; Grades 5-12.
