Our Group

Capoeira Camará was founded by Mestre Bola in 2005. Camará means “Comrade” and here at Capoeira Camará, we believe that this is the most important aspect of this art. Capoeira Camará is a group that seeks to share the rich history, music and culture of this beautiful art with all. 

Capoeira Camará follows the “Contemporânea” (or contemporary) style of Capoeira. Contemporânea is a term for groups that train multiple styles of Capoeira simultaneously. Very often students of Capoeira Contemporânea train elements of Regional and Angola, as well as cross-training to build movement, strength  and balance. This sub-style is seen by some as the natural evolution of Capoeira.

We believe that although you learn Capoeira in the classroom, you really gain a thorough understanding of the this art form when you play Capoeira outside of the classroom and with other groups. We often hold events where we invite other Capoeiristas and encourage our students to attend events outside of our school and worldwide. Students have traveled to take seminars and play Capoeira in many countire.

Capoeira Camará has grown to have academies worldwide in such places as Canada, Brazil, Bermuda, Ireland, Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Tobago, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Russia, Japan and the Ukraine.
