Join us Tuesdays in August at Argryos Plaza for Capoeira Dance.

Pronunciation: kaa-puh-WEH-ruh

A free-flowing blend of dance and martial arts, led by Instructor Mosquito from ABADÁ-Capoeira.

Tuesday Night Dance is fun, upbeat, and designed for all ages and abilities—no dance experience required.

Martial arts meet dance in this unique style, originally developed in the 1500s by enslaved West Africans in Brazil. Unable to openly practice fighting techniques, enslaved Africans passed on these skills and traditions by camouflaging them with music, singing, and dance. This innovative and rhythmic new art form became what we know today as capoeira.
