Quilombo Cultural Center

No doubt you’ve heard of the trendy Brazilian dance/martial-art form capoeira—well, there’s a place that takes seriously the steps necessary to accurately (and safely) learn its eye-popping tricks. New students must complete a five-week session that introduces the basic movements, music and history of capoeira Angola, but if you’re less than keen on being upside down, they’ll happily teach you samba, belly dancing, jujitsu or muay Thai instead.
