Capoeristas

Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatics, music, and spirituality. Practiced through fluid, rhythmic movements, it often involves sparring that emphasizes agility, technique, and strategy rather than brute strength. Capoeiristas are practitioners of this art, trained to perform intricate, expressive movements within a roda (circle) where music and singing set the rhythm. Beyond self-defense, capoeira fosters cultural identity, community, and physical coordination, making it a dynamic practice that celebrates tradition while promoting fitness and artistic expression.
