Join us for an immersive experience in Salvador de Bahia as we explore Brazilian history and culture by learning the martial art of capoeira!
Capoeira: Art or Sport?
Capoeira is a sport with Afro-Brazilian origins that combines martial arts, dance, and music, rooted in the history of enslaved Africans in Brazil. Its practice dates back to the end of the 16th century in Quilombo dos Palmares. This discipline features various blows and agile movements, distinguished by its musicality. Capoeiristas learn to play traditional instruments such as the berimbau, atabaque, pandeiro, and reco-reco.
What to Expect
We'll meet at Largo do Pelourinho to start our capoeira class in Salvador de Bahia. Expect to experience a different side of Brazilian culture. Throughout the class, you will engage with this art form through movement and music, feeling the energy, strength, and mental balance that capoeira offers. After 2 hours of practice, we'll conclude the session with a dance.
