Locations for these club activities may vary. In-person trainings currently at the Railyard Performance Center, Studio Nia Santa Fe and THRIVE Community School in Santa Fe, NM.
We are excited to connect with the different communities in Santa Fe. If you are interested in creating an after school program with us, please let us know by sending a message in our contact menu.
We collaborate with other regional capoeira groups offering a bi-monthly event called "Vamos Vadiar New Mexico" where we get together for a roda and share our game with each other.
Thursdays are here! If you are looking for a vibrant class where you can know your body better, improve your self-esteem, learn about Brazil, and more, come to our capoeira class!
You will receive a free Capoeira Santa Fe t-shirt after registering (until t-shirts last). Also, if you come with a friend, both of you during the first month will have 50% off in your contribution to the organization.
Please, contact us prior arriving to class so we are aware of your attendance

Learn the movements, music and cultural history of this fun Brazilian art form created originally by African slaves in their struggle for liberation! It is as much a martial art as a practice of movement and body awareness involving strength, flexibility, trickery and music. In the past decades, capoeira has gone out from Brazil, creating schools and groups all over the world. On the shoulders of the tradition, each mestre and each local group create their own unique cultural expression with it. We are looking forward to sharing ours with you!
