Discover the rhythm of capoeira in a private workshop in Salvador. Learn movements, music, and history in an authentic cultural space guided by a dedicated local instructor.
In this immersive private experience, you’ll be welcomed into a traditional capoeira school located in the historic center of Salvador, the cradle of Afro-Brazilian culture. The activity begins with a warm introduction and a brief talk about the origins of capoeira, born as a form of resistance among enslaved Africans in Brazil. Guided by an experienced instructor, you’ll then learn basic movements, ginga, and body sequences, along with the rhythms of traditional instruments like the berimbau, pandeiro, and atabaque. The class is tailored to your pace and is perfect for beginners or anyone curious about this unique art form. Throughout the session, you’ll gain insight into the philosophy and cultural energy behind capoeira, which blends fight, dance, music, and spirituality.
