Capoeira for Adults

Capoeira is a Brazilian art form and self defense, with strong aerobic, music and dance elements. It is a harmony of forces that gives you power, flexibility, endurance and self-discovery. Capoeira balances the body, soul and mind. It is a graceful, exciting art form that teaches you to be alert. The only indigenous martial art of the Americas, Capoeira was developed by African slaves in Brazil. The art keeps its strong traditions and enables you to break through limits, revitalizing your everyday life.
Capoeira is for everyone regardless of one's athletic/martial arts experience.
Loose fitting clothing (sweat pants and T-shirt) and a water bottle are recommended.
