Start your Capoeira journey in 2026!
We would like to invite you to discover the magic of Brazilian Cultural Arts through Capoeira — a unique blend of movement, rhythm, and community.
Whether you are looking to get fitter, try something new, or reconnect with your body and creativity, our adult classes are the perfect place to start.
We are a small team of passionate Capoeira teachers with years of experience in movement, music, and culture. We love what we do, and we do it with energy, joy, and Axé!
We look forward to welcoming you into our friendly and supportive community.
Our Capoeira teaching follows the tradition of Mestre Papa-Leguas and his international group TUCUM. Professora Risada (Kasia) and Professor Pingado (Grześ) train under their master, Mestre Medusa, who in turn was trained by Mestre Papa-Leguas — forming the Capoeira lineage that guides and inspires our work.
