ABOUT CAPOEIRA-EL PASO
A Life of Balance
By integrating body, mind, culture, capoeira, spacial awareness, and community, we strive to promote an understanding of the inter-dependency of all aspects in your personal health and well-being.
Capoeira-El Paso (CEP) was established as a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization in 2007. We continue to grow under the guidance of Mestre Acordeon and the United Capoeira Association (UCA), with support from the El Paso Museum and Cultural Affairs Department.
SCHEDULE
Allow us to be your guide, teaching you the techniques of Capoeira needed to create and maintain a strong lifestyle.

Sharpen the tools and develop the habits you’ll need to improve your daily habits, outlook, and ultimately--your life.
