We’re excited to welcome new students to our Capoeira community!

Most of our kids’ classes (except Intermediate/Advanced) have open enrollment year-round, so your child can start at almost any time.

A few times a year, we also offer a Kids Intro Series.  This small group training, in a fun but structured format, is a great way for new students to get familiar with Capoeira’s movements, music, and flow before joining the regular classes.  Contact us for info on when the next series begins.

If your child would like to start outside of the Intro Series, a few one-on-one intro sessions may be required to help them jump into the group classes with confidence.

Our Tiny Tots classes (ages 3.5–6.5) do not require an Intro Series and are open for enrollment all year long.

Below is a breakdown of our youth programs and schedules:
