“My 4-year-old daughter absolutely LOVES Capoeira! It’s the best class she does and has pretty much everything you could want – gymnastics, music, cultural tradition, collective spirit and a performance aspect that is great for her confidence. It’s also great for discipline – the teachers command real respect and really understand how to run a class for kids of this age. At the same time it’s really joyous and fun. I couldn’t recommend it more highly”
Dr. Michael Bloomfield (Jacare’s Dad)
