Capoeira teachers

Capoeira teachers, known as "mestres" or "professores," are skilled practitioners of Capoeira, a Brazilian martial art that combines dance, acrobatics, and music. These instructors not only master the physical aspects of Capoeira but also teach its cultural significance, including music, history, and traditions. They guide students in techniques, movements, and the rhythmic nature of the art form, often using live music during lessons. Beyond physical training, Capoeira teachers foster community, discipline, and respect among practitioners, emphasizing both individual growth and collective spirit within the Capoeira community.
