Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art that uses self-defense disguised as a dance. It blends elements of martial arts, dance, music, and culture. Capoeira was developed in Brazil by enslaved Africans during colonial times as a form of physical, spiritual, and cultural resistance against oppression.
Our class goal is centered on mindfulness, positive energy, and community building. Through playfulness, flow, and dancelike movements, capoeira will develop care, connection, and confidence.
No prior experience needed. Just a willingness to learn and have fun. Classes are designed for adults. Well-behaved minors may participate alongside a participating parent or guardian. FREE or $5 suggested donation.
Please wear comfortable pants (no shorts) and a t-shirt that allows you to move comfortably. Barefoot or smooth-soled shoes are recommended. Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated.
Every Sunday except the 3rd Sunday.
