How many of you have ever done a capoeira class. Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian art form that combines dance, Music, Martial arts and more. Are you wondering what capoeira looks like? Try a class.

I can't dance.. I imagine if I tried it would be like I had two left feet... actually I could only wish i'd be good enough to look like i'm dancing with two left feet.. yup that bad... Anyway I did look in the past.. there aren't any capoeira classes around here.. I doubt many people have even heard of it.. is it too new or something..?

Just close your eyes fireloard, and let your body move to the music.

Being able to dance or not is just a question about daring to let your body dance. Just never THINK about what you are doing.....

I know a bit about capoeira but have never had the opportunity to study it. I'm pretty interested simply for a dance perspective though.
