"Arte Reviver Capoeira is the first "Regional" style Capoeira group on the Gulf Coast and has been in the area since December 2006 with the arrival of Mestre Cocada. With the formation of the Capoeira and Brazilian Cultural Arts Center, a 501(c)3 non profit organization, we set out on a mission of expanding awareness of Brazilian culture through Capoeira here in our beloved city. Our goal is to use Capoeira as a transformative tool to enhance health, wellness, kindness, self-respect, and self-confidence for individuals of all ages and abilities across the greater New Orleans area. One of our newest programs, Distinctive Warriors, provides an inclusive space for youth with diverse abilities to build confidence, strength, and community through Capoeira. In addition to offering a variety of classes, we serve as a safe, inclusive space where youth and adults alike, can explore music, arts, physical education, and cultural heritage, fostering personal growth and community connection."
