Capoeira Circle

The Capoeira circle, known as "roda," is a central element of Capoeira, a Brazilian martial art that combines dance, acrobatics, and music. In a roda, participants form a circle, with two individuals playing at its center, showcasing their skills through movements and techniques. Musicians and singers typically accompany the roda, creating an energetic atmosphere. The circle fosters a sense of community, encouraging both competition and cooperation among practitioners. It serves as a space for expression, learning, and cultural exchange, highlighting the rich traditions and social aspects of Capoeira beyond its martial elements.
