Capoeira | Instructor Bio | United Capoeira Association


Capoeira originated in Brasil, and is a dynamic expression of Afro-Brazilian culture. Today it can be found in many countries throughout the entire world. Crossing many facets of personal expression, it encompasses its own philosophy, history, culture, and music while developing a strong sense of community amongst participants.

“ A dance-like fight, a fight-like dance, a song, a way of life!”
