The mission of Capoeira Malandragem’s youth program is to support healthy youth development through regular physical and cultural activities led by positive role models in a supportive learning environment.

Kids’ Capoeira classes are taught using games and exercises emphasizing music and acrobatics—working both physical coordination and mental abilities. Classes cover basic capoeira techniques, rhythms, instruments, and songs in Portuguese. Classes are open to all levels. New students are welcome to start at any time
Healthy Youth Development Building Blocks are:
