Welcome to Capoeira in Essex.
Capoeira is a dynamic and beautiful art which incorporates music, dance, fight and acrobatics.
We hope that one day you will join the ever growing capoeira community to celebrate this truly original art. Here you will find details of our classes in Essex, for kids and adults, some information about capoeira.
We will also list events and feature videos and photos.
If you are interested of having a demo at your event or a workshop or any information about classes in Essex please contact us at: sininha@capoeiraessex.co.uk
