About this event

Capoeira is more than a martial art—it's a celebration of movement, rhythm, and resistance. Developed by enslaved Africans in Brazil, Capoeira blends acrobatics, dance, music, and history into a dynamic and empowering experience. Students will learn kicks, spins, and cartwheels while also playing instruments like the berimbau and learning Portuguese songs. ACE’s teaching style emphasizes discipline, cooperation, and personal growth in an age-appropriate way. Whether your child is flipping across the room or clapping along in the roda, they’ll gain confidence, strength, and cultural knowledge.

A Small, Confidence-Building Summer Camp for Creative Kids Ages 3–6 Full Day or Half Day Options Whether your child already enjoys performing or is a little hesitant, our camps are designed to build confidence and get kids excited about being themselves. Small groups, caring teachers, and thoughtfully designed days filled with storytelling, movement, and play. New Themes Every Week - Each week is built around a story kids may already love or are excited to discover, brought to life through acting, dance, art, and imaginative play. This camp is a great fit if your child: loves imaginative play enjoys music, movement, or storytelling is confident, shy, or somewhere in between benefits from a smaller, more supportive environment A Weekly Share for Families - At the end of each week, families are invited to a short, relaxed sharing of what the children have been exploring. Led by our teaching artists, this moment is about celebrating the process—giving kids a chance to feel proud of what they’ve worked on throughout the week together.
