FAQs
Can parents stay to watch class?
Parents can stay for the first class to watch the class. After the first class, we ask that parents wait in the adjacent sitting room. #7573 to enter the door to the sitting room.
Why is the capoeira gear so costly?
We switched to a custom print to order company for our capoeira gear so we do not waste unused inventory. The trade off for a more sustainable system is 3x more costly. We are trying our best to keep prices as close to their cost as possible.
How should I train capoeira?
Show respect to the customs, ancestors, and masters of capoeira. Capoeira is an African cultural art of resistance from Brasil. Members are expected to learn and practice Portuguese and Brazilian history. Try your best. No need to feel embarrassed about learning a new language - English is a new language for many to learn.
