Capoeira Dance

Capoeira is a Brazilian art that combines martial arts, dance, music, and acrobatics into a dynamic, expressive practice. It originated among African slaves as a form of resistance and cultural expression. Participants perform fluid, rhythmic moves often set to traditional music, including singing and instruments like the berimbau. While it appears dance-like, capoeira also involves strategic evasive movements and kicks, making it both a martial art and a dance. Its emphasis on flow, rhythm, and agility fosters a unique blend of physical skill, cultural history, and community connection.
