Today’s shout out goes to Raizes do Brasil Capoerira Brooklyn!
The beauty of Brooklyn and Gowanus in particular, is that culture, arts, and dreams may seem different yet they all manage to be in the same area and work together to inspire one another.
A piece of Brazilian culture is shared to fellow Gowanuians through Capoeira, Maculelê, Samba and Portuguese. And if you are still questioning what this may be, think of mixed martial arts with a splash of dance. This tradition of Brazilian culture and capoeira teaches its practitioners to utilize the art form as a tool to better their lives.
Don’t be shy and check out their location, hours, and class levels starting from Absolute Beginner all the way to Advanced!!
