Chicago Capoeira Center

The Chicago Capoeira Center offers a unique experience centered around Capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, music, acrobatics, and cultural tradition. Developed by Africans in Brazil as a form of resistance and cultural expression during colonial oppression, Capoeira is not just a martial art but a vibrant cultural practice. The center also provides classes in Brazilian dance, catering to various age groups, including energetic programs for kids that promote physical fitness, coordination, and cultural appreciation through the engaging combination of acrobatics, music, and dance.
