Who can come to Capoeira Brooklyn?

Curious about capoeira? We encourage you to look at the above schedule and pick a class to stop by and observe.  We do not allow "drop-in" or "sample" classes if you haven't previously trained with Raizes do Brasil. 

If you are an adult who has never played capoeira before, we suggest you register for our monthly Absolute Beginners Series.  The series of classes, for those new to Raizes do Brasil Capoeira, meets twice weekly for 4 weeks for a total of 8 classes. The classes focus on stretching, conditioning, the fundamental movements of capoeira and its music. The series provides an excellent foundation for entering our regular, ongoing classes and an introduction to the art, music and history of capoeira. If you have always been curious about capoeira and wanting to learn more in an environment designed exclusively for new comers, this is the class for you!

Kids who are interested should sign up at the beginning of a seasonal session. Kids of all abilities take class together.  They learn capoeira movements, songs, and the language of capoeira, Portuguese. All while in a fun, safe environment! 

If you are a capoeirista from another capoeira group, we ask that you contact us prior to your intended arrival at the academy.
