About the Practice
What is Capoeira?
Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian art form that blends martial arts, dance, acrobatics, and live music. Students train kicks, escapes, and movement in the roda — the circle — where they play, sing, and take turns in the center. No experience is needed: Medusa meets every student where they are.
Movement Meets Music
Students learn to move to traditional capoeira rhythms, songs, and the berimbau — building timing and listening skills along the way.
Strength & Coordination
Kicks, escapes, and acrobatic movement develop balance, agility, flexibility, and full-body strength.
Confidence & Community
In the roda, everyone takes a turn and everyone cheers. Kids build self-belief and respect for their classmates.
What to Bring
- Comfortable athletic clothing you can move in
