The Canadian Centre for Capoeira

Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art that blends movement, dance, acrobatics, history, music, and rhythm. It is played as a game rather than fought, so there are no winners or losers.

Classes are offered for Kids (5 to 8 years), Teens (9 to 15 years), and Adults (16 years and up). The school also runs summer camps for children.

First-time students can reserve a complimentary trial class through the booking button on the website. The trial lets the instructor assess which class and level best fits the student.

A drop-in class costs 40 dollars per session. Monthly memberships start at 119 dollars per month, tax included, which is better value for anyone attending more than twice a month.

The training season usually runs September through the end of July, with no classes in August. There is also a two week winter break in December and a one week spring break in March.

All you need is yourself, comfortable workout pants, a t-shirt, and a water bottle. A school uniform of white pants and a black shirt is recommended but not mandatory until the first belt ceremony.
