Capoeira Angola is an Afro-Brazilian art form that weaves together movement, music, history, and community. Rooted in traditions created by Africans in Brazil, it blends a sometimes low-to-the-ground, sometimes standing playful physical dialogue with live percussion, call-and-response songs, and ritual. More than a martial art, Capoeira Angola is a practice of rhythm, strategy, expression, and collective care—inviting everyone to explore creativity, connection, and resistance through embodied movement. In this class we will learn how to play the instruments, how to sing the songs, and we will explore the movements in a manner that is engaging, beginner friendly and also challenging for more experienced participants.
