Capoeira in Schools

Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatics, and music, often performed in a circle called a "roda." In schools, it promotes physical fitness, coordination, and self-discipline while fostering cultural awareness and appreciation for Afro-Brazilian heritage. Capoeira encourages teamwork and respect among participants, helping to build community and social skills. Through its playful yet challenging practice, students develop strength, agility, and flexibility while learning to express themselves creatively. Incorporating Capoeira into educational settings enhances student engagement and provides a unique approach to physical education and cultural learning.
