O Canto da Capoeira: The Capoeira Song

Featured Blog Post
Capoeira songs sometimes tell stories of great masters who have long since died. Sometimes they tell us about the struggles and triumphs, the heroes and the villains of capoeira. The songs are important for understanding history.... And the history of capoeira is not just a history of Brazil, but also a history of Africa, a history of oppression, and a history of triumph....

What Our Students Say

Great ballet classes! Lots of individual attention, small class sizes (until all of Tri-Cities find out about Kate), and she gives beautiful, thorough explanations of all steps, which is especially helpful for students who began ballet as an ​adult like me. The curriculum is very well organized and covers the essentials of ballet in a way that makes it easy to learn and remember, assisting the learning process. Classes include a full warm-up, plenty of barre and technique work, and center work is well-planned choreography! So much fun!
-Holly P.
​I am retired now and really feel the importance of both learning new things and keeping my body strong and flexible, so I am loving Find Your Center's Ballet for Seniors class... Kate shares her expert ballet knowledge in a gentle, creative, respectful, and fun way. This is my first dance class ever and I don't feel at all like this is beyond my ability because Kate focuses on making ballet accessible. She absolutely loves what she does and she wants her students to really enjoy the process. And outcome! I already feel like I am a bit more graceful and balanced and I just love that.
-Janet T.
Wonderful place. My daughter has enjoyed her ballet class. Ballet classes are joyful and fun... Teacher works wonderfully with the students-makes you feel welcome. I highly recommend this place.
-Cesiah G.
You won't believe how awesome the Capoeira training is here! I would take a month of classes over a gym membership any day. I have been training here for 10 months with DeShawn and it has been a transforming experience. I started with absolutely no experience in Capoeira or martial arts and I have been able to do complex sequences like the ones you find when you search Capoeira on YouTube. Capoeira is more than just a martial art for me. It builds confidence, musical ability, strength, and community ...[and allows me to] be part of a community that is truly like a second family.
-Kevin H.
It's an awesome workout! Better than a gym in my opinion. Capoeira has opened up a world of community and culture to me and it is a lot of fun! I'm literally smiling most of the class!
-Carolyn S.
Great capoeira lessons for students at all levels.
