Community impact

Capoeira Angola as cultural work in Oxford

Oxford Capoeira Society shares Capoeira Angola as a living Afro-Brazilian tradition through movement, music, oral history, rhythm, play, and community participation.

Our work in Oxford connects regular classes with cultural learning, children's activities, school workshops, rodas, events, and the wider international community of Angoleiros do Mar.

What the work supports

Cultural education

Students learn about Capoeira Angola through movement, rhythm, music, instruments, history, and respect for the roda.

Inclusion and confidence

Beginners, children, families, students, and local residents can participate at a steady and welcoming pace.

Schools and young people

Workshops can introduce Afro-Brazilian culture through adaptable movement, listening, singing, and group participation.

Community connection

Classes, rodas, and events create shared spaces where people connect through culture, practice, and music.

Partnerships

Schools, venues, and community organisations

We are open to conversations with schools, cultural organisations, local venues, community groups, and funders interested in inclusive cultural education, physical activity, music, and community participation in Oxford.
