Is Capoeira Really
For Everyone?

for kids

Children ages 3 and above are welcome to our classes.

We partner with some local schools too - click here to find out which ones!

for beginners

No matter what your background, movements can be tailored by teachers to fit anyone's ability.

for stressed students

Use capoeira to clear your mind. Take a break before cramming for that next final!

We offer discounts to UofC students (with an ID).

private lessons

Our teachers can personalize training for you. We can work with your schedule.

"Capoeira é por todo mundo"

cultural enrichment classes

Immersing yourself in the culture surrounding Capoeira is an essential part of learning Capoeira itself!

In the past, we've offered classes/workshops covering these other aspects of Brazilian culture including samba, orixa history, percussion, and/or the Portuguese language.

We will post class offerings like this here - often with guest teachers - so check back for announcements! Meanwhile, you can learn more about related music and dances on our Resources page.
