Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art incorporating dance, acrobatic moves, and music developed by African and Afro-descended peoples in Brazil in the sixteenth century. Capoeira is at its core an art of liberation centered on principles of community and the transmission of intergenerational knowledge. Samba, the dance and music synonymous with Rio's Carnival and Brazilian national culture, also has its origins in Afro-Brazilian rhythms, movements, and traditions. Come learn more about these rich cultural traditions by learning the basic movements and trying your skills in the roda.
