BOOKINGS OPEN FOR OCTOBER – BRING AUTHENTIC AFRO-BRAZILIAN CULTURE & HISTORY TO YOUR INSTITUTION

Celebrate Black History Month with Authentic Afro-Brazilian Heritage

Black History Month is a powerful opportunity to honor the resilience, resistance, and rich cultural legacy of the African diaspora. As the UK’s Most Awarded Capoeira School and a proud recipient of funding from the Mayor of London, QMC School of Capoeira delivers immersive, dynamic, and profound educational programs that bring this history vividly to life.

Capoeira is much more than a martial art. It is a living historical archive—a profound symbol of freedom and survival forged by enslaved Africans in Brazil. Through a unique synthesis of movement, live music, and storytelling, our expert instructors connect your audience directly to these deep historical roots, moving beyond the textbook to offer a kinetic, lived experience of cultural preservation.

Our sessions offer a full-sensory immersion into Afro-Brazilian folk traditions, featuring the powerful rhythms of live traditional instrumentation. Beyond the music, we showcase the physical game (jogo) of Capoeira as a breathtaking spectacle of agility and martial arts. Crucially, we emphasize the historical and cultural context of our art, educating audiences on the profound value of negritude (Blackness) and Afro-diasporic identity, and explaining how Capoeira served as a vital tool for survival and liberation.
