SUMMARY:Capoeira MdP
DESCRIPTION:Students can expect a welcoming and engaging class that brings together Capoeira’s movement\, music\, rhythm\, self-defense\, and cultural traditions. Classes are designed for all levels\, combining physical training and creativity in an environment centered on respect\, community\, and individual growth. Students are also introduced to traditions such as Maculelê and Samba\, offering a broader experience of the culture surrounding Capoeira. \nCost: Drop-In Class – $25 | 10 Class Pack (Valid for 60 days) – $175 \nMore information available through the registration link \n*NEW* The Dance Complex requires ALL visitors to have a Membership\, Guest Pass\, or $5 Day Pass to access the building. \nREGISTER HERE\nAccepted Payments: Cash\, Venmo (@capoeiramdp)\, Zelle (contact@capoeiramdp.com)\, Credit Card through Registration Platform – 4% fee added to any purchase made through Venmo/Credit Card \n\nWhat is the legacy of the genre/form/style you are teaching?\nCapoeira is an Afro-Brazilian art form developed in Brazil by enslaved Africans and their descendants\, bringing together elements of martial arts\, movement\, music\, and cultural expression. We teach Capoeira Contemporânea\, which draws from the traditions of both Capoeira Regional and Capoeira Angola while incorporating influences that have developed throughout Brazil. This style reflects Capoeira’s continued evolution while maintaining a strong connection to its history and cultural roots. \nWhat background\, training\, and or relationship do you have with this style/technique/class subject?\nWith over 50 years of continuous Capoeira practice and more than 40 years of teaching experience\, I founded Associação de Capoeira Mandingueiros dos Palmares (Capoeira MdP) in 1977 in Belo Horizonte\, Brazil. Our practice of Capoeira Contemporânea is deeply rooted in the traditions of Capoeira Regional developed by Mestre Bimba. My Mestre\, Mestre Itapuã\, was a direct student of Mestre Bimba\, connecting our work directly to this important lineage. Throughout my life\, I have dedicated myself to practicing\, teaching\, performing\, and sharing Capoeira in Brazil\, Massachusetts\, and communities across the United States. \nFinish this statement: I am passionate about teaching this style because…\nI am passionate about teaching this style because Capoeira has been a part of my life for more than five decades and has become something I now have the privilege of passing on to others. Teaching alongside my sons makes that journey even more meaningful\, allowing us to share Capoeira as a family while preserving our heritage\, strengthening our community\, and introducing the art to new generations. \nACCOMPANISTS\, ASSISTANTS\, REGULAR SUBSTITUTES:\nGuthemberg Teixeira: Known in Capoeira as Contramestre Chuvisco\, Guthemberg was born in Belo Horizonte\, Brazil\, and grew up in Boston\, Massachusetts. Training since childhood\, he has taught classes\, led workshops\, and represented Capoeira in the US\, Brazil\, and Colombia. He is also the organizer of “Vadiar Boston\,” an annual event that brings together communities to celebrate and share Capoeira. \nJason Ri: Known as Contramestre Compasso\, Jason began training Capoeira in 2001 and has been training consistently ever since. In addition to learning the traditions\, movements\, music\, and oral history of Capoeira\, Compasso is interested in how Capoeira empowers communities and individuals through collaboration\, challenging training\, and pedagogy. He teaches classes in Arlington. Compasso is also interested in how mindset and psychology can enhance training\, performance\, and overall mental health. \nThomas Pouncy: Known as Professor Bambu\, Thomas has been training and teaching Capoeira in the Boston area for over a decade\, beginning with Grão-Mestre Chuvisco in the early 2000s. In 2025\, he received the title of Professor and teaches classes in Roxbury. His primary interests are sharing the passion and energy that he finds in Capoeira with others and building a strong community here in Boston. \n\nHow can students learn more about this offering?\nWebsite: http://capoeiramdp.com/\nInstagram: @capoeiramdp_boston \nContact Information\nContact:\nGuthemberg Teixeira (Contramestre Chuvisco) | contact@capoeiramdp.com | 857-230-9139

SUMMARY:Capoeira MdP
DESCRIPTION:Students can expect a welcoming and engaging class that brings together Capoeira’s movement\, music\, rhythm\, self-defense\, and cultural traditions. Classes are designed for all levels\, combining physical training and creativity in an environment centered on respect\, community\, and individual growth. Students are also introduced to traditions such as Maculelê and Samba\, offering a broader experience of the culture surrounding Capoeira. \nCost: Drop-In Class – $25 | 10 Class Pack (Valid for 60 days) – $175 \nMore information available through the registration link \n*NEW* The Dance Complex requires ALL visitors to have a Membership\, Guest Pass\, or $5 Day Pass to access the building. \nREGISTER HERE\nAccepted Payments: Cash\, Venmo (@capoeiramdp)\, Zelle (contact@capoeiramdp.com)\, Credit Card through Registration Platform – 4% fee added to any purchase made through Venmo/Credit Card \n\nWhat is the legacy of the genre/form/style you are teaching?\nCapoeira is an Afro-Brazilian art form developed in Brazil by enslaved Africans and their descendants\, bringing together elements of martial arts\, movement\, music\, and cultural expression. We teach Capoeira Contemporânea\, which draws from the traditions of both Capoeira Regional and Capoeira Angola while incorporating influences that have developed throughout Brazil. This style reflects Capoeira’s continued evolution while maintaining a strong connection to its history and cultural roots. \nWhat background\, training\, and or relationship do you have with this style/technique/class subject?\nWith over 50 years of continuous Capoeira practice and more than 40 years of teaching experience\, I founded Associação de Capoeira Mandingueiros dos Palmares (Capoeira MdP) in 1977 in Belo Horizonte\, Brazil. Our practice of Capoeira Contemporânea is deeply rooted in the traditions of Capoeira Regional developed by Mestre Bimba. My Mestre\, Mestre Itapuã\, was a direct student of Mestre Bimba\, connecting our work directly to this important lineage. Throughout my life\, I have dedicated myself to practicing\, teaching\, performing\, and sharing Capoeira in Brazil\, Massachusetts\, and communities across the United States. \nFinish this statement: I am passionate about teaching this style because…\nI am passionate about teaching this style because Capoeira has been a part of my life for more than five decades and has become something I now have the privilege of passing on to others. Teaching alongside my sons makes that journey even more meaningful\, allowing us to share Capoeira as a family while preserving our heritage\, strengthening our community\, and introducing the art to new generations. \nACCOMPANISTS\, ASSISTANTS\, REGULAR SUBSTITUTES:\nGuthemberg Teixeira: Known in Capoeira as Contramestre Chuvisco\, Guthemberg was born in Belo Horizonte\, Brazil\, and grew up in Boston\, Massachusetts. Training since childhood\, he has taught classes\, led workshops\, and represented Capoeira in the US\, Brazil\, and Colombia. He is also the organizer of “Vadiar Boston\,” an annual event that brings together communities to celebrate and share Capoeira. \nJason Ri: Known as Contramestre Compasso\, Jason began training Capoeira in 2001 and has been training consistently ever since. In addition to learning the traditions\, movements\, music\, and oral history of Capoeira\, Compasso is interested in how Capoeira empowers communities and individuals through collaboration\, challenging training\, and pedagogy. He teaches classes in Arlington. Compasso is also interested in how mindset and psychology can enhance training\, performance\, and overall mental health. \nThomas Pouncy: Known as Professor Bambu\, Thomas has been training and teaching Capoeira in the Boston area for over a decade\, beginning with Grão-Mestre Chuvisco in the early 2000s.

SUMMARY:Capoeira MdP
DESCRIPTION:Students can expect a welcoming and engaging class that brings together Capoeira’s movement\, music\, rhythm\, self-defense\, and cultural traditions. Classes are designed for all levels\, combining physical training and creativity in an environment centered on respect\, community\, and individual growth. Students are also introduced to traditions such as Maculelê and Samba\, offering a broader experience of the culture surrounding Capoeira. \nCost: Drop-In Class – $25 | 10 Class Pack (Valid for 60 days) – $175 \nMore information available through the registration link \n*NEW* The Dance Complex requires ALL visitors to have a Membership\, Guest Pass\, or $5 Day Pass to access the building. \nREGISTER HERE\nAccepted Payments: Cash\, Venmo (@capoeiramdp)\, Zelle (contact@capoeiramdp.com)\, Credit Card through Registration Platform – 4% fee added to any purchase made through Venmo/Credit Card \n\nWhat is the legacy of the genre/form/style you are teaching?\nCapoeira is an Afro-Brazilian art form developed in Brazil by enslaved Africans and their descendants\, bringing together elements of martial arts\, movement\, music\, and cultural expression. We teach Capoeira Contemporânea\, which draws from the traditions of both Capoeira Regional and Capoeira Angola while incorporating influences that have developed throughout Brazil.

Our practice of Capoeira Contemporânea is deeply rooted in the traditions of Capoeira Regional developed by Mestre Bimba. My Mestre\, Mestre Itapuã\, was a direct student of Mestre Bimba\, connecting our work directly to this important lineage. Throughout my life\, I have dedicated myself to practicing\, teaching\, performing\, and sharing Capoeira in Brazil\, Massachusetts\, and communities across the United States. \nFinish this statement: I am passionate about teaching this style because…\nI am passionate about teaching this style because Capoeira has been a part of my life for more than five decades and has become something I now have the privilege of passing on to others. Teaching alongside my sons makes that journey even more meaningful\, allowing us to share Capoeira as a family while preserving our heritage\, strengthening our community\, and introducing the art to new generations. \nACCOMPANISTS\, ASSISTANTS\, REGULAR SUBSTITUTES:\nGuthemberg Teixeira: Known in Capoeira as Contramestre Chuvisco\, Guthemberg was born in Belo Horizonte\, Brazil\, and grew up in Boston\, Massachusetts. Training since childhood\, he has taught classes\, led workshops\, and represented Capoeira in the US\, Brazil\, and Colombia. He is also the organizer of “Vadiar Boston\,” an annual event that brings together communities to celebrate and share Capoeira. \nJason Ri: Known as Contramestre Compasso\, Jason began training Capoeira in 2001 and has been training consistently ever since. In addition to learning the traditions\, movements\, music\, and oral history of Capoeira\, Compasso is interested in how Capoeira empowers communities and individuals through collaboration\, challenging training\, and pedagogy.
