Axé Capoeira (pronounced aH-shay cap-oh-AIR-ah) Residency December 2-6.  Families are invited to attend a school-wide performance on Friday Dec 6 at 11:15am.

We would like to thank the PAC for making this exciting residency possible.

Axé Capoeira has an emphasis on active health, arts and cultural appreciation. Capoeira teaches an appreciation for multiculturalism through music played on traditional Afro-Brazilian instruments, songs in Portuguese and Brazilian dance.

Axé Capoeira was founded in Brazil, first arriving in Canada to perform at the Vancouver International Children’s Festival in 1990.  Since 1990, they have become one of the premier capoeira organizations in North America. With over ten performance DVDs, seven internationally acclaimed music CDs, a vibrant track record of over 5,000 school shows and stage performances, and two years running as choreography consultant to So You Think You Can Dance Canada, Axé Capoeira will present a show unparalleled in its spectacular combination of dance, acrobatics, music and theatrics.

Grupo Axé Capoeira originated in Recife, Brazil, in 1982, and opened the first-ever capoeira academy in Canada, in 1996. Based in Vancouver, BC, the organization today continues to rise as one of the world’s leading schools of capoeira. With its internationally high standards of teaching and training students, Axé Capoeira has seen enrolment steadily increase over the years, to a current total of approximately 8000 students in over 20 countries around the world.
