Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I come check out a class?
Yes. We encourage newcomers of any age to watch a class and meet Mestre Roque. If you'd like to take a single class, the drop-in rate is $20. For children, the first class is $10. Please arrive 15 minutes early to complete the paperwork. Wear a t-shirt and sweats or yoga pants, white if possible. No street clothes. You will be barefoot during class.
Do I have to be in top shape to do capoeira?
No! Learning capoeira will help you get in the best shape of your life. Students can burn up to 500 calories an hour in a class. You can expect to increase your flexibility, strength, cardio, balance, and motor coordination through the practice of capoeira. If you come to class regularly, you will get results. Just ask our students.
Do you have classes for beginners?
Our classes are currently geared for all levels and each student trains according to his/her level. Students train together in a group, in pairs, and also individually.
What if I can't do all the moves?
All the moves we practice can be modified to your fitness ability level. Capoeira is physically demanding and we know it takes time to build the proper physical conditioning and mindset to do certain moves. Also, we regularly encourage all students to "respect the limits of your body" to practice safely and avoid injury. If you have a condition that limits you, please let Mestre Roque know.
Do I need a uniform?
Yes, the uniform is mandatory for all registered students. The basic uniform consists of white training pants and a white shirt with the Bodysport Capoeira logo. On Mondays, students are allowed to wear blue, black, or white pants and a white or blue Bodysport shirt. New students have three weeks to purchase a uniform.
