Capoeira Kids - http://capoeirakids.ca

Capoeira Kids aims to provide physical fitness, music and fun to children with special needs. In the program, your child will learn to move and control their body within their abilities. They will improve strength, balance and coordination through the dance like movements of Capoeira. They will also participate in the music of capoeira, singing songs, and playing drums and other instruments.

Capoeira Kids is for children ages 5 and over with special needs, such as Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, Autism, Asperger's, Developmental Coordination Disorder, Down Syndrome, etc. The goal of Capoeira Kids is to provide a supportive environment where kids can strengthen their body and spirit, enjoy fitness and a healthy lifestyle, learn music, make friends, and most importantly have fun.

Edmonton Capoeira Community Outreach (ECCO)

Capoeira developed as a means of self-expression and freedom in the midst of repression. It is recognized today as a powerful tool for individual and community empowerment, used in social programs aimed at children and teenagers in high-risk groups. ECCO is active in the community providing services to local youth organizations including one-time workshops and regular clubs.

Performances & Workshops

Our members perform in many events throughout the community, usually in the form of a short 'roda.' We also offer workshops that can be tailored to meet your group's needs.

For more information or if you would like to include a performance / demonstration of Capoeira at your event, please contact the Capoeira Academy at 709-3500.
