Capoeira is a dynamic and spectacular multi-disciplinary cultural, sport / art form which draws on the rich tradition of Afro-Brazilian music, dance, story telling, theatre and self-defense. The cultural and oral tradition of Capoeira evolved from the history of the African people’s will to resist transportation from Africa and to survive enslavement in Brazil. From its beginnings Capoeira practice has been about strengthening the body and spirit of those who practice it by connecting them to their community.
