I have never done martial arts or dance, can I still participate?

Yes. No experience is necessary and you do not need to be in a certain shape to take part in our classes. There are new beginners joining everyday and many ask themselves the same question: “Why didn’t I join this earlier?!”. If you have never done any form of exercise or have health concerns, we highly recommend to consult your physician prior to taking part in any physical activity.

How can I prepare for my first class?

It’s important you arrive early (minimum 15 minutes) to familiarize yourself with our Academy and instructors and fill out a waiver form. You may also want to try following along one of our videos here to get bit of a head start on your first class

Capoeira encourages discipline and instills the value of loyalty, responsibility, and self-confidence. In this way, it helps in the positive formation of those who participate and become involved in the practice of Capoeira. Teenagers can benefit greatly from participating in capoeira because it provides the opportunity to express themselves and learn about emotion regulation through community and movement. Capoeira is a place where they can make new friends and feel like they belong to something they can be proud of. The teens in our classes can challenge themselves, feel accomplished, motivated, and explore who they are as a person in a safe and positive community.

The importance of Capoeira for children is not only in the historical and cultural aspect but also in the physical qualities it helps develop; balance, motor coordination, speed, and strength. 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 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.
