Led by instructors, Professor Eme Eme, or Spidey Cannon, each class will teach basic and advanced capoeira movements and concepts at a pace tailored to suit each student. Students of all ages and levels of skill are welcome to attend. Please wear comfortably fitting clothes that will allow a range of movement. Please note that Capoeria is performed barefoot.
