Capoeira is a Brazilian art form that blends fighting, dance, rhythm, and movement. It’s a dialogue between players — a conversation through movement that can carry many shades of meaning. While the details of Capoeira's origins and early history are still debated, it's clear that African slaves played a crucial role in its development. Some historians believe that slaves used Capoeira’s dance-like appearance to disguise combat and self-defense training.

Capoeira’s unique combination of strength, flexibility, and rhythm builds physical power while also enhancing self-confidence, focus, courage, and creativity. Many people say Capoeira is essential to their lives. But the only way to truly understand is to see it — and try it — for yourself.

Instructor Urso (Chris Crowther) has made capoeira essential to his life since 2005. Capoeira has given him a purpose-driven life, life-long friendships, and most importantly, a family in the process. His goal is to introduce capoeira to a new generation of youth and adults alike to hopefully make capoeira essential to their lives as well. He also wants to inspire all fellow capoeiristas to continue to learn and grow along with him.
