What You'll Get
Teens train in a focused but welcoming environment where they can move at their own pace, develop real skills, and be part of a community that values respect and expression. It's a productive outlet that feels like play, not punishment.
Confidence

Fitness
Build cardio, mobility, strength, and body control through movement.
Culture
Learn Brazilian music, rhythm, and the traditions behind Capoeira.
Community
Train with peers who show up, support each other, and grow together.
Beginners really are welcome. You will not be thrown into anything you are not ready for. Classes start with movement basics, technique, rhythm, and partner drills.

What age is the teen program for?+
Teens ages 12–17 train in a dedicated environment that challenges them like adults while keeping the energy and play of Capoeira. Younger teens often start here; mature teens sometimes transition into adult beginner classes.
Do teens train with adults or kids?+
Most teen sessions are their own group. Teens who are ready can also join adult beginner classes — we place each student based on comfort, skill, and the night's schedule.
Is Capoeira good for teens who don't like team sports?+
Yes. Capoeira is individual and social at the same time. You develop your own movement style, play one-on-one in the roda, and belong to a group without sitting on a bench or waiting for the ball.
Will teens learn flips and acrobatics?+
Progressively. Capoeira includes acrobatic movements like au (cartwheel), bananeira (handstand), and roles, taught step-by-step with safe progressions. No prior acrobatic experience is needed.
How do I try a teen class?+
Request class info and we'll set up a trial that fits your teen's age and schedule. There's no long-term commitment to try it out.
