CAPOEIRA

Capoeira is Brazil's fast and graceful Afro-Brazilian art form that blends dance, martial arts, and acrobatics into one beautiful art like no other. While singing in Portuguese,with live music accompaniment, participants ‘play’ capoeira allowing individuals and groups to: give and get respect, develop self-discipline, strengthen patience, increase physical stamina, become a valued member of a community/group, feel strong, build trust, get motivated and enhance teamwork.

Empowerment Circles

Through thoughtful, encouraging conversations and coaching, individuals and groups develop self-confidence, esteem and develop healthy outlets for physical wellness and emotional empowerment.
