Capoeira

This Brazilian form of martial arts originated more than 500 years ago and is known for doing wonders for the booty. You could come solely for the calorie-torching benefits, but capoeira has the added payoff of building a sense of community between its practitioners, who end each class with a roda, or a circle for showing off their new techniques. Each class is made up of anywhere from 25 to 40 students, and you’ll learn basic moves, including torso twists and high circular kicks.
