Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that blends elements of dance, acrobatics, music, and self defense. It originated in the 16th century, developed by enslaved Africans in Brazil as a way to resist oppression and maintain cultural practices. To disguise the martial nature of their practice, Capoeira was performed with fluid, dance-like movements, often accompanied by traditional music and instruments.
Through Capoeira people come together to rise up, protect, teach, and find joy in oppression and hopes for freedom.
Andre has been teaching in Cape Cod for 9 years. He is the owner and founder of Capoeira Besouro Cape Cod. All abilities welcome.
