Capoeira 4 Scotland

Full member

Our social enterprise addresses poor health & well-being faced by people from disadvantaged communities across Glasgow using Capoeira, a Brazilian art-form combining physical movement from dance, martial arts and acrobatics with traditional Afro-Brazilian folk music in a collaborative group setting. We use Capoeira’s dynamic movement, music, and prosocial, inclusive atmosphere to support our participants' health & well-being through engaging, expressive and healthy activities and developing positive social interactions between diverse community members. Our session delivery includes regular, inclusive weekly Capoeira classes with sliding-scale class fees and subsidised free spaces for those most in need, targeted outreach projects to support specific groups and seasonal community-based performances, demonstrations and taster sessions.
