Everyone was a beginner once

Beginner Students

All of our classes are mixed-level. Our teachers can tailor movements for all abilities. We've found students improve faster when surrounded by more advanced students. We have sessions too.

First time? Wear a t-shirt, loose pants, and light sneakers (optional).

For your first class, wear clothing that is comfortable for movement. Try to arrive early to warm up and stretch, and to introduce yourself to the instructor. As a beginner you are welcome to train capoeira in your own clothing, however if you decide to train regularly we encourage you to purchase a uniform. Many students choose to train barefoot, but if your feet are new to capoeira it may be a good idea to bring some sneakers as your feet might develop blisters from the activity of your first class. Feel free to stop by any class! Beginners are always welcome! Contact us if you have any further questions!
