Age groups 5-9 and 10-13: HAVE FUN LEARNING

We want to help kids grow through capoeira, in all respects - physically, mentally, emotionally, and as students, athletes, friends, and good citizens.

Children will carry the values they learn in capoeira with them for their whole lives. We are proud to be part of their evolution.

Classes incorporate not just the capoeira moves, but also stories, music, games, and regional dances to awaken their creative spirit. Capoeira cultivates a positive attitude, teamwork, respect, and commitment, and raises awareness about the importance of community and culture. We want kids to be kids, while at the same time understanding life’s values and responsibilities.

Batizado

What is a capoeira batizado?

The batizado is a graduation ceremony where new students receive their first capoeira cordão (belt), after playing with visiting masters. This is a "baptism" when you are officially welcomed into the art form.

If you wait until the event, the full price for students is $200. We offer early payment and installment plan options if you want to start paying now and save money.

Capoeira Class Packages

Some of my students can't train on a regular schedule - but they can't live without capoeira! I created class packages so you can train when it works for you, no stress. This way, you don't have to worry about when you'll be able to make it to class. You will still be part of our capoeira family and can come whenever you are free, but not feel the pressure of a busy schedule.
