Capoeira Classes

Description:

• Somewhere between a dance and a martial art, the uniquely Brazilian sport of capoeira may have its roots in the 16th Century, but it has never been more fashionable. From the streets of Rio's favelas to the beaches of the affluent South Zone, capoeristas can be seen honing their skills, and it is an impressive sight to see. Today, increasing numbers of tourists are heading to Rio in the hope of learning some capoeira moves, and classes are held at various spots across the city, with Lapa Rio Capoeira being among the best.
