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, with branches around the country and world. Under the guidance of Mestre Versátil, capoeira is taught 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, brought together by the common interest of learning capoeira. The stated mission is: “Through hard training, we push our bodies and minds to be the best they can be. Through engagement in the community at large, we hope to champion a better tomorrow.”
