Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian art form that combines martial arts with dance and music. Participants take part in all aspects of the performance including playing the musical instruments, singing or dancing/sparring. The Capoeira-Brincadeira Viva Academy was started as a way to bring all of those aspects to local school children, to enhance their sense of self-confidence and community participation, as well as to develop their physical skills.
Classes are available for young children as well as adults.
