Miami Capoeira Sol e Lua

Vejo todos os dias a mídia escancarando os esportes estrangeiros com suas utilidades, suas inovaçes, seus heróis e seus méritos, é não e difícil perceber que a capoeira é deixada para trás. Raramente somos surpreendidos com matérias de eventos, projetos e benefícios nas diferentes formas de media.
Será falta de publico? Com certeza não, pois somos mais de 6 milhes de praticantes!
Mas vejo que isso nunca nos abalou, pois o amor pela nossa arte/​cultura/​dança/​luta/​expressão/​música nos basta para conquistar espaço a cada dia, para colocar a capoeira em todos países do mundo, para sermos una ferramenta pedagógica altamente eficaz, para sermos uma das manifestaçes populares mais ricas do mundo, para tornar-​lá a maior divulgadora da língua portuguesa no mundo!
Também temos nossos grandes heróis e historias que arrepiam ao serem contadas!

What is capoeira? Dance fighting? While that answer is partially correct (breakdancing moves are based on capoeira) Capoeira is much more than that. Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that dates back to the slavery era in Bahia, Brazil. Unlike any other form of martial art, capoeira is practiced with music. Without music there is no capoeira, as the moves performed are driven by the rhythmic sounds of the atabaque (similar to a conga drum), the berimbau (a stringed instrument that resembles a bow), and the pandeiro (like a tamborine). A true capoeirista not only masters the moves, but also masters the instruments. Capoeira Sol e Lua provides the groundwork to lead even a new student upon the path to becoming an excellent capoeirista.
Sol e Lua is led by Instructora India, an amazing teacher who strives to get the very best out of her students. Classes meet on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. On MWF Beginners class goes from 6:30 — 8:00pm and the Advanced level class goes from 8:00 — 9:00pm. On Saturdays, a music class goes from 10−11am, and the all-​levels class goes from 11am-​12noon. It should be noted, however, that beginners are encouraged to attend the advanced levels classes as most of the classes are mixed anyways. Drop-​in rates are $ 15 a class, but reasonably priced monthly rates with unlimited classes are also available.
Capoeira has provided me with one of the best workouts I have ever experienced. It really pushes you to challenge yourself, both mentally and physically. While the workouts are tough, they are a lot of fun. I highly recommend Sol e Lua as an excellent school to learn, train, and play capoeira. Axe!

When I started training here 3 months ago, I was a Capoeira newbie… actually a Martial Arts newbie at that. I had spent 2 months in physical therapy from a fractured shoulder and was horrendously out of shape. Instructora India and all of my classmates have provided me a ton of support in learning the basics, have pushed me into better shape, and have been patient in walking me through the intense moves.
If you are looking for hands on training in Capoeira, this is a great school for it. Classes are offered during the evening on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and during the day on Saturdays, which is great for people with 9 – 5 work week schedules.
Pricing is either monthly or per class and uniforms are required and available for purchase. And its worth buying the uniform… you can’t help but look sexy in those Capoeira pants!
