Class Etiquette

To train Capoeira is more than going once in a while for the aerobic workout, or to enjoy the energy of the roda. Of course, we welcome anyone for whom this appropriate, but for most participants, that is not enough. It is traditional for Capoeiristas to immerse themselves in the art, training, researching and socializing outside of class.

Our group is dedicated to maintaining the traditions of Capoeira while continuing to evolve the art.

To progress in Capoeira you must try to continually develop your movements, connecting them like words in a sentence; and you must play in the roda, applying what you have learned in your training. Learning the music and instruments is also fundamental.

Arrive on time to class and be prepared to work hard knowing that a new or difficult movement will come with time. Do not be afraid of not being able to do it right, repetition and consistency will improve your skills and game. Try to make it to extra curricular activities as your support and participation is one of the most important things to being a part of the diverse and positive environment and community.
