Summary
Capoeira combines martial arts, music, dance and acrobatics to help students learn coordination, agility, flexibility and strength. Learning how to play traditional Brazilian instruments, singing in Portuguese, and the different Afro-Brazilian dances are all part of the Capoeira curriculum. The psychological and developmental benefits that arise from cooperation, respect, discipline, and tolerance are essential to the practice of this art form.
