Our nonprofit creates multifaceted Capoeira Arts programs that explore the many disciplines the art encompasses from which students can benefit from physically, mentally and emotionally. Our free capoeira, dance and Portuguese programs cater to all ages and operate on-site, at our full time Capoeira academy in the Decatur and off-site, largely throughout Atlanta schools. World Capoeira Maculele Arts Foundation has taught thousands of students in Atlanta and around the world. Our nonprofit provides opportunities for children to experience and learn the value of cultural diversity.
