Capoeira classes will introduce a positive outlet for children to improve their coordination, balance, speed, motor skills, strength, and overall physical health. Through the kids' capoeira classes, they will also enhance their ability to focus, stay motivated, and positively express themselves. Children in Capoeira learn amazing movements that are both challenging and fun, making this a great opportunity for children to test their limits in a safe environment and learn about consistency and resilence as they gain a sense of accomplishment.

The importance of Capoeira goes beyond physical benefits as the children will learn historical and cultural values through music and experiences in class. Learning Capoeira will positively influence the way the children behave, listen, and absorb information outside of the capoeira classes such as in school, with friends, and at home.

The involvement with Capoeira awakens the musical, physical, artistic, and creative sides of the children who practice in this art form. Capoeira is one of the best ways for children to develop mind, body, and strength. In addition to the benefits above, Capoeira helps to build a strong and positive character and personality through self-expression, confidence, and team-building skills in a fun and playful environment.

Everything you need to get moving into a more advanced level or just enough to follow along in the class, you will get in the Intro. How far you go is completely up to you. You can progress to the intermediate/advanced classes or just follow along for the workout and great energy you’ll feel.
