Capoeira performances

Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatics, and music. Performances take place in a circle called a "roda," where participants showcase their skills through fluid movements, kicks, and dodges, often accompanied by traditional instruments and singing. The practice emphasizes creativity, strategy, and physical agility, allowing practitioners to express themselves while respecting their partner. Capoeira's rich cultural background is rooted in Afro-Brazilian history, symbolizing resistance and community, making each performance not only a display of athleticism but also a celebration of heritage and social connection.
