Capoeira Luanda & Ilê Bahia de San Antonio

Capoeira:
Capoeira is Brazil’s fast and graceful Afro-Brazilian art form, which blends dance, martial arts, and acrobatics into one beautiful art like no other.

Ile Bahia de San Antonio:
Borne out of a collaboration between the Carver Community Cultural Center and Capoeira Master/Choreographer Jelon Vieira, Ilê Bahia de San Antonio was created to sponsor educational programs and fine art events dedicated to the promotion, appreciation and advancement of African-Brazilian culture, with a heavy emphasis on local at-risk youth. Our programs allow San Antonio youth to experience how to be creative with their body, mind, and spirit, while developing confidence and respect for themselves and others. Our specialty is the martial art known as Capoeira.
