Oi! Welcome to Grupo Axé Capoeira of Pittsburgh! Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art consisting of music, movement, and rhythm. It is a constant flow of movement as players explore creative interactions that range from dance to fight within the musical circle known as the Roda. Students of Capoeira learn to play instruments and sing in Portuguese. It is a dance-like fight, a fight-like dance, a song, a way of life. It is Capoeira.
