A step-by-step approach to training is provided. All students are initially given basic movements to practice and as they advance, they learn more complex movements. In a typical class, students will be asked to work in pairs and individually where one-on-one attention is provided. At the end of each class a roda occurs. This is where all the students come together and apply the movements they were practicing, while learning how to play traditional Capoeira instruments and sing in Portuguese. Classes include stretching, warm-up, and training in Capoeira movements. We will also address traditional rules and philosophy.
 
Mestre Joao Carlos Bordallo has thirty-three years of Capoeira experience. Originally from Santos Brazil he now resides and teaches in Portland, Maine.
