Frequently Asked Questions
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable athletic clothing you can move freely in—think sweatpants or leggings and a fitted t-shirt. Bare feet are best for training, but clean indoor sneakers are okay if needed.
Do I need any equipment?
Nope! Just bring yourself, a water bottle, and a willingness to learn. We provide all musical instruments and training tools.
Is capoeira a martial art or a dance?
Both—and more. Capoeira combines martial arts, dance, acrobatics, and music into one powerful, flowing art form. It’s playful, expressive, and deeply rooted in Afro-Brazilian history and culture.
Will I be expected to know the moves or music?
Not at all. Beginners are always welcome, and you’ll learn everything gradually—basic movements, songs, instruments, and how to play in the roda (circle). Our community is friendly, encouraging, and here to help you grow.
What if I feel nervous or out of shape?
That’s totally normal. Capoeira is adaptable to all fitness levels, and we’ll meet you where you’re at. Progress comes with consistency and patience.
Can I bring a friend?
Yes! We love when new students bring someone along. They’ll just need to sign up as well at http://www.capoeirabrampton.com/join. If they’re not ready to join class, they’re welcome to come watch.
