Overview: Capoeira is typically described as a Brazilian martial art that combines Afro-Brazilian dance with martial arts and acrobatics.  However, this is only an approximation of the depth and breadth of the capoeira game and it's deep history.  Classes begin with warm-ups, strength conditioning, and an hour of kicks, drills, and partner exercises. Classes culminate in a new capoeira song and a roda.  Roda's are unique to capoeira in that a circle is formed and two players at a time improvise and play the game of capoeira. We invite you to come watch and participate in capoeira and learn anew the fun of play and music!
