Adult Capoeira
Beginner Capoeira Classes
Our ongoing adult beginner Capoeira classes are open to everyone no prior experience is necessary. These classes provide a comprehensive introduction to the art of Capoeira, covering not only martial arts but also dance, music, acrobatics, culture, language, and more.
We recommend this class for anyone who is new to Capoeira. It’s the ideal starting point for beginners, as you’ll be in a group with others who are just beginning their journey, just like you! You’ll work on the foundational movements of Capoeira, such as Ginga, Esquivas, basic attack/defense techniques, counter-attacks, as well as dance steps, musical rhythms, and introductory acrobatics.
Once you feel comfortable with the basics, you can progress into our Beginner Capoeira Class, where you’ll continue to deepen your practice and begin moving through the different levels of Capoeira.
