About
Capoeira Batuque offers training in capoeira along with African Diaspora dance. Classes also include high intensity body weight sets and a session referred to as the “Bucket Class.”
• Schedule: Mixed-level classes meet on Tuesdays from 7:15pm to 8:45pm and Thursdays from 7:45pm to 9:15pm.
Capoeira Batuque was started over 25 years ago by Mestre Amen Santo of Salvador Bahia and Mestre Beiçola of Rio de Janeiro. The group continues to be guided by Mestre Amen Santo, and under the guidance of Mestre Versátil, students learn capoeira as an art, culture, philosophy, and tradition. Teaching methods range from sessions based in the traditions of African Diaspora dance to high intensity body weight sets developed from strategies by exercise physiologist Dr. Izumi Tabata, referred to as the “infamous Bucket Class.” Members bring an eclectic mix of special talents and abilities, connected by a common interest in learning capoeira, and the group has branches around the country and world. The stated mission is that through hard training, participants push their bodies and minds to be the best they can be, and through engagement in the community at large, they hope to champion a better tomorrow.
