Capoeira is a martial art and dance form that originated in Brazil in the 16th century. It is a unique blend of fighting techniques, acrobatics, music, and singing. Capoeira is often performed in a circle, with two people facing each other and taking turns to attack and defend. The movements are fluid and graceful, and the music provides a rhythmic accompaniment to the action.

Capoeira has a long and complex history. It was originally developed by African slaves as a way to resist their oppressors. Over time, capoeira evolved into a more formalized art form, and it is now practiced by people all over the world.

There are many different styles of capoeira, each with its own unique characteristics. Some of the most popular styles include:

  • Angola: This is the oldest style of capoeira, and it is characterized by its slow, fluid movements and its emphasis on ritual and tradition.
