Capoeira is the embodiment of a historical legacy that cried for freedom
Created by Africans that were brought to Brazil as enslaved labor, Capoeira has risen from the days of colonialism and prohibition to become a global phenomenon.
Today, Capoeira is a unique blend of music, folklore, acrobatics and fitness. Our Group carries the traditions of the most notorious Capoeira Group in Brazil, grupo Senzala co-founded by Mestre Peixinho from Rio de Janeiro.
