This activity is closed to registration.Capoeira landed on Brazil’s shores centuries ago with the forced arrival of Angolan slaves. Its history - rich with the traditions of both Brazil and Africa - makes training this unique martial art an unparalleled experience. Its movements are graceful, acrobatic and allow for plenty of individual expression. This African-Brazilian art form is traditionally described as a combination of dance, martial arts and gymnastics. In addition to a physical discipline, Capoeira students also learn percussion and a vast repertoire of traditional Brazilian songs. Pay fee or $15 drop-in per class.
