Women of Volta Miúda

In our and Salt Lake Capoeira community, our goal is for everyone to feel welcome and respected when they take a class. We believe capoeira is for everyone that it speaks to, no matter your age, cultural background or country of origin, gender, physical condition, race, religion, sexual orientation, or political persuasion. We are proud of our diverse community and recognize how it strengthens us as we train and play together and learn from one another. We encourage our students to come to class with love and not hate; to focus on what they can do and not what they can’t; to try to help and not to judge; and to share their happiness and help take away others’ sadness. This video highlights some of the women in our group and the important energy and strengths they bring to capoeira.
