What is Capoeira?
Capoeira is a unique combination of movement, music, play, and expression.
Born as a form of resistance among enslaved African peoples, it carries a legacy of freedom, creativity, and cultural strength.
In the roda, the body dances, fights, sings, and responds to the rhythm of the berimbau.
It is a physical practice, yes, but also a philosophy, a dialogue, and an energy that transforms everyone who steps into the game.
