Children's Capoeira Classes

Capoeira (cap-oh-we-rah) combines self-defense, dance, acrobatics, music. Try the first class free! Each year, for over two decades, we introduce thousands of children to the magic and benfits of capoeira. So much more than fitness for children, capoeira develops focus, discipline, respect, and leadership skills.
