About
Since 2003, the Arte Capoeira Center has brought capoeira to New York families and schools. Our capoeira kids classes are conducted in a playful yet challenging manner in order to promote both cooperation and competitiveness in a positive way.
Capoeira is a precious developmental tool as it engages its players physically, socially and culturally. Its unique combination of dance, martial arts and music is ideal to help kids grow with confidence, discipline and a positive attitude to life. The main benefits of capoeira for kids include: whole body work-out, balance, dexterity, flexibility, rhythm.

Editor’s Tip
In September 2003, Instrutor Mucuiù opened “Arte Capoeira Center”, NYC’s first studio specialized in capoeira regional and Brazilian performing arts. He says “I love teaching capoeira, it is a sport and a cultural activity. It is a unique combination that enriches people’s lives and creates a sense of community, that is often lacking in such a big city as NYC”. When he is not travelling to Brazil to train, he teaches at the Arte Capoeira Center.
