Roda (Capoeira Roda)

Roda, in capoeira, is a circular area where practitioners form a ring to perform and observe. Inside, two capoeiristas engage in a free-flowing, dance-like game that combines acrobatics, dance, and martial arts, emphasizing agility, strategy, and musicality. The circle is often lively with singing, clapping, and instruments, creating a communal and rhythmic atmosphere. The Roda symbolizes connection, tradition, and respect, serving as both a performance space and a shared cultural ritual that celebrates capoeira’s history, movement, and spirit.
