Capoeira classes for adults

Capoeira is an inspiring artform that attracts people from all ages and backgrounds! Its unique fusion of dance, fight, music and culture means there is something for everyone to enjoy. If any aspect of capoeira intrigues you, come along and give it a go.

“I found capoeira as something where I could express myself totally as it combines my love of music, dance, acrobatics, combat and sense of play – and much more.” Designer, female, age 29

When and where?

Our capoeira classes take place in various schools, youth and community centres around London and the South East.  The classes are taught by Mestre Fantasma (Simon Atkinson) and his students. Through years of teaching, Mestre Fantasma has developed innovative teaching methods that inspire and motivate young people from all backgrounds.

Go to About capoeira to find out more or please contact us if you have any questions.

“It is rare to get such insight into yourself, and sometimes it is difficult to accept certain aspects of what you find, but capoeira celebrates everybody’s strengths and weaknesses, which is a very liberating concept!” Doctor, female, 32

Capoeira is treachery

Life is a struggle? Life is a battle?
 The player sees that capoeira is teaching him to dance within and during this fight.

“Apart from a skill, it also lays down rules which benefits those taking part. It offers positive benefits through developing respect for others. It’s also great fun.”

Andrew Boff. Greater London Authority

“I like capoeira because it is a full body workout, I feel strong. When I play I feel excited and motivated. I would tell anyone considering capoeira to join…its good.”
