Ive been a part of this group for the last five years, and love every moment of it. I started absolutely accidentally, curious about this Brazilian dance-fighting, and stayed for the people, the fun of singing and playing music, the purposeful movement, and the contact act of learning. Today Im proud to say I can do a headstand, take someone down, and sing in Portuguese.

When I found CAQ on Facebook and took my first class, I was just excited to learn Capoeira. I had no idea that I would find a group of people that I now consider family.CAQ makes me look forward to Sundays and Wednesdays, which i never thought was possible.Gafa and Gigante are thoughtful, patient and incredibly fun teachers. The other students are fun, kind and encouraging. In the course of a class you might sing off key, play a drum off beat, fall on your butt and end up covered in sweat - but you’ll laugh the entire time, never feel judged and leave class already excited for the next one.As you advance in your Capoeira game, you’ll learn a ton of strategy and game theory. It will completely change the way you move your body and how you understand the world around you.CAQ isn’t a group to visit to once and never return. It’s a passionate and beautiful community that deserves your whole hearted investment.I hope to see you in class!
