Capoeira is a unique Afro-Brazilian art form that combines dance, gymnastics, self-defense, music, and the Portuguese language. The capoeiristas who practice this art appear to defy gravity as they jump, flip, spin, and cartwheel through the air. Capoeira embodies an ideal, disciplined mindset and gives a rhythm to the lives of capoieristas. Project Capoeira is the only non-profit organization dedicated to bringing capoeira to the Philadelphia region.
