Bring Capoeira to Our Community
Donation protected
Hey everyone,
I recently started a community-based nonprofit called Sankofa Capoeira Music, Movement & Dance to share Capoeira, a Afro-Brazilian art that blends self-defense, music, movement, and culture. What made capoeira stand out to me was how different it is from other forms of self-defense. It helped me step outside the norm and connect with elements of my African heritage in a way that built not just strength, but also pride and confidence.
This nonprofit is open to everyone, of all ages and from all backgrounds. Whether you're looking to get active, explore something new, or connect with a supportive community, there's a place for you here. With your help, we’ll be able to offer classes, workshops, and events that make capoeira accessible and meaningful to more people.
