Kids & Teen Capoeira
Ask about youth scholarships! Ensuring access for all in need, our programs are co-sponsored by the City of Seattle Office of Arts & Culture and supported by Capoeira Life by Shunpike Arts Collective.
Our curriculum emphasizes Achievement, Community, and Leadership (ACL) through the development of Focus, Discipline, and Respect (FDR). The goal is to provide the fundamental building blocks for healthy young minds and bodies through capoeira exercises. Our coaches are dedicated to providing a space for the youth in our community to learn valuable lessons that will help them to thrive in Capoeira and in life while having fun and being themselves.
Adaptive & Progressive Curriculums
Students develop their capoeira with age-specific curriculums. Through dynamic instruction and practice, students train to develop body awareness, flexibility, physical strength, agility, and mental confidence. While training mind, body, and heart, students are further empowered, learning about history, language, music, self-defense, and social justice.
Start any time. Each class is inclusive to all levels. Every students start with the white cord, leveling up as they grow within their curriculum. Teens with more experience can transition to train with adults.
Kids Live Training
Students will train the fundamentals of their level to prepare for playing in the capoeira roda.
Kids Capoeira Roda
The capoeira roda is the special capoeira gathering where students have the opportunity to apply their training and build their unique style. Capoeira rodas are important for building community and maintaining the tradition. All are welcome to our capoeira rodas to connect and build capoeira community.
Kids Capoeira Festival
Each quarter, students from all locations come together for our Kids Capoeira Festival to celebrate their capoeira achievements with showcases, matches, games, and a party! Students will have focused training in classes to prepare them for each festival.
