| Not a dance
nor a martial art, but a little bit of both, Capoeira is a pure expression of
Baiano culture, and Itacaré one of the best places in Brazil to practice this
art. |

Local groups
There are 3 main groups in Itacaré: Grupo Luanda, Filhos
de Zumbi and Tribo do Porto. They all play Regional style capoeira.
Everyday, they
organize rodas (circles) for Capoeira, where many youths of Itacaré come to
participate. Visitors are welcome. |
