“Capoeira has quickly become an important part of our family. Capoeira music plays as we get ready for dinner, new routines learned or insights gained from my experience in the adult class are shared over breakfast while the kids’ achievements and challenges often get talked about over dinner. We have started learning Portuguese from Duo Lingo and find ourselves singing songs we have learned on our way to school. Friends come over and the kids pull them into a roda in the middle of the living room. As a family, there has been a marked increase in our collective joy, curiosity, and connection. We are all learning to be brave in the face of discomfort (being a beginner isn’t always easy!). We are learning how to strive and how to care for others who strive. And we feel a sense of family with the larger Sinha community. Sinha Capoeira is a gift and we are so grateful to be on this learning journey together.”
“At Sinha Capoeira, we’ve met more than just a teacher – we’ve found a mentor. The atmosphere Mestre Chuvisquinho creates, filled with inspiration and support, has guided my daughter through this exciting art form. Every class at Sinha Capoeira is like a doorway to a world of creativity and physical learning. Mestre’s guidance propels kids through movement and rhythm and helps them believe in themselves and go forward. My daughter has not only grown stronger and gained a lot more confidence but has also made new friends. This school is like a beacon for those searching for a space where every step is more than exercise – Sinha Capoeira brings together diverse cultures and people.”
With over 40 years of experience in his career, Mestre Chuvisquinho has become an influential figure in the Capoeira community, both nationally and internationally, inspiring and teaching others while promoting the rich cultural heritage of Capoeira.
He has traveled extensively throughout the United States, South America, Europe and other parts of the world teaching seminars, performing in shows, and coordinating performances. He is widely respected in the Capoeira community for his knowledge, skill, and dedication to the art.

The first edition of this event was held in 2007, coinciding with the founding of the Sinhá Capoeira School. Since then, capoeiristas from all over the world have gathered in Boston to celebrate capoeira with us.
Whether you’re an experienced capoeirista or a curious beginner, EDB offers something for everyone. You’ll have the opportunity to learn from some of the most renowned capoeira mestres, watch inspiring performances, and network with other capoeiristas from around the world. This event truly embodies the spirit of capoeira, promoting cultural exchange, friendship, and respect for diversity.
Need to start somewhere? We start by teaching you the basic movements, and you go from there.
Capoeira doesn’t require any previous experience in any kind of physical activity!
Don’t be discouraged, capoeira is for everyone! Young or old, short or tall, boy or girl! Of course, the more you practice, the faster you’ll see results!
For your first class, comfortable sportswear is sufficient. If you decide to sign up, we have uniforms available for purchase.
It’s wonderful to see how each child finds their own side of the class to shine and improve, whether it’s singing or playing an instrument. Parents are more than welcome to watch their children participate in the class.
Many reasons! It’s a unique blend of martial arts, dance, gymnastics, music and singing, all in one place. Children love to play, it’s in their nature. That’s why children at Sinhá learn capoeira through play. They enjoy the energy and fun of our structured training sessions.
