Youth Capoeira Angola
Capoeira Angola offers a unique and enriching experience for your child, combining physical coordination, mind-body connection, emotional regulation, and the development of a strong, healthy body.
Our structured system of progression ensures that with regular attendance, dedication, and your support, your child will continually benefit and advance through various levels of movement, linguistic & musical competence.
Additionally, Capoeira Angola connects your child to a vibrant, diverse global community, fostering a sense of belonging and cultural appreciation. Progress at their own pace—typically reaching the first level in about 6 months of regular practice, with further levels taking 6 months to a year or more. Support and motivate your child, and they will enjoy both the lifelong benefits of Capoeira and the camaraderie of a worldwide network and art-form.
