Capoeira communities

Capoeira communities are groups formed around the practice of capoeira, a Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatics, and music. These communities often reflect a blend of cultural heritage, emphasizing cooperation, respect, and social connection. Participants engage in regular training sessions, known as "aulas," where they learn techniques and play games within a circle called a "roda." In these communities, traditions such as music, rhythm, and cultural history are celebrated, fostering a sense of belonging and identity. Moreover, capoeira often serves as a tool for social change and empowerment, promoting inclusivity and cultural exchange.
