Capoeira Angola
Angola BKLYN, led by Professora Rouxinol under the guidance of Mestre Cabello and Centro Cultural Barracão D'Angola, is our home for studying Capoeira Angola.
Capoeira Angola is a Brazilian art form of the African diaspora — dance, martial art, acrobatics, music, ritual, and culture, inseparable from one another. The practice we teach today is less an individual pursuit and more a collective journey of learning, practice, and spirit — exploring the thresholds we cross together each time we play, sing, and move as a group.
Come develop mobility, strength, flexibility, and musicality — and find a community built on all of it. We offer Beginner, Intermediate, and All Levels movement classes, Capoeira Angola musicality classes, and Youth classes — culminating each month in our roda on the third Saturday.

“Since the first time I saw Rouxinol play capoeira, I knew I wanted to learn from her. It’s not only her skill in movement, but the way she speaks about the art, how passionate she is, and the deep respect she has for the many aspects of capoeira. She’s a natural leader who pushes you to uncover what you’re capable of, in a safe and welcoming environment, where community is created. Maybe most importantly, she reminds us to train, and train with joy.”
