Aged 12 - 25? Join our new capoeira troupe,
...and bring the streets of Brazil to life in Hackney. Take part for fun, to keep fit and to perform, at events around the country throughout the year.
Capoeira is a unique blend of martial arts and street dance, with a touch of acrobatic skill thrown in. It originated in Arfrica and made its way to Brazil, where the bold movements and hypnotic rhythms really found a home.
We've got a team of leading Brazilian capoeira masters to teach our troupe the skills. No previous experience is needed, just energy and enthusiasm to learn.
Interested? Sign up by emailing youth@arcolatheatre.com
