Locations for these club activities may vary. In-person trainings currently at Studio Nia Santa Fe.
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.

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!

Everyone will receive 2 breaks per class for water and calming the breath. If you must take another break or leave early, please let your instructor know prior to departure.
Capoeira is an art like any other martial art or cultural expression and its practice requires respect and consideration. Please be mindful of the expectations set here and with your teacher in class.
If there is the need to cancel a class, we will post the news in the website and our social media. Be aware prior depart to class. If there is no one in the studio when 15 min has passed, the class will be canceled.
