Join us for an immersive experience in Salvador de Bahia as we explore Brazilian history and culture by learning the famous martial art of capoeira!

Capoeira: Art or Sport?

Capoeira is a sport with Afro-Brazilian origins that mixes martial arts with dance and music. It has roots in the end of the 16th century in Quilombo dos Palmares. This discipline includes various blows with complex and agile movements and is distinguished by its musicality, as capoeiristas learn to play traditional instruments like the berimbau, atabaque, pandeiro, and reco-reco.

Those who dismiss the musical aspect of capoeira are often seen as lacking sportsmanship.

What to Expect

We'll meet at Largo do Pelourinho to start our capoeira class in Salvador de Bahia. Experience a different side of Brazilian culture!

During the class, you will engage with this art form through movement and music, feeling the energy, strength, and mental balance that capoeira offers. We will learn the sport's movements and basic rules with students from the school.

After 2 hours of activity, we will conclude the experience with a dance session.

Hotel Pickup

During booking, you can choose to include hotel pickup or not. If you select the activity with pickup, we will collect you from your hotel 1.5 hours before the start of the class to ensure timely arrival.
