Capoeira

After surfing, the most practiced sport in Itacaré is Capoeira.

At any time, you will see people practicing it in the streets and on the beaches.

 

And whoever practices both sports guarantees that Capoeira even promotes better surfing because it develops overall body elasticty and endurance, both fundamental for any physical activity.

 

There are several groups offering training participation for tourists. Most recommended is Grupo Luanda at the river side promenade (close to Casarão Amarelo). There you can book special English language beginners classes, as well as just get into the "roda" (however prepare your heart for that!).

 

Still, every day there is an 8:00 pm Capoeira presentation at the "Cinema Bar" Itacaré, Rua Lodônio Almeida, close by to Pizzaria "Beco da Flores".

 

After each Capoeira presentation, there is a presentation of "Samba de Roda" and "Maculelê", typical dances. The show lasts for one and a half hours and costs R$ 5,00.
