Welcome to Capoeira Besouro
Capoeira Besouro is a premiere Capoeira, Dance and Martial Arts school in Santa Monica, California. We cater to all ages, starting from age 3, with engaging toddler sessions, vibrant kids' classes, and empowering adult lessons scheduled conveniently throughout the week.
We also offer studio rentals, private lessons and private small group lessons.
Rooted in the indomitable spirit of enslaved Brazilians from the 17th century, Capoeira is more than just an art—it's a symphony of self-defense, dance, and music.
About Mestre Batata
Mestre Batata, the owner and head instructor at Capoeira Besouro, arrived in Los Angeles in 2002, bringing the spirit of Capoeira to the city. He has been dedicated to teaching here ever since, while also sharing his expertise worldwide through workshops and seminars.
Mestre Batata embraces a contemporary style of Capoeira, uniting students from diverse backgrounds—be it Angola or Regional Capoeira. Unlike some schools that stick to one tradition, Mestre Batata blends the philosophies of both styles, offering a modern approach.
Mestre Batata’s mission is to equip his students with the essence of traditional Capoeira while nurturing their ability to adapt to any roda they encounter.
