Capoeira Achè Brasil Calgary- has been teaching and performing in Calgary for over 20 years.
We offer classes and shows for kids and adults all over the city.
Capoeira is a martial art, dance and art form that combines kicks, escapes, take-downs and acrobatics with an exotic musical aspect, style and artistic expression. Originating in the Northeast of Brazil (about 400 years ago), by slaves from the African continent, Capoeira had to be practiced in secrecy after its lethal potential was discovered by the slave masters. Although Capoeira was created as a way to free the slaves from their oppressors, it has evolved into one of the most hypnotic and interesting art forms yet to come out of Brazil
You can just introduce our organization Capoeira Achè Brasil Calgary. 10 performers.

The ensemble exists to enrich and foster the artistic development of youth and to entertain audiences with its dynamic interpretations of traditional Polish folk dance. Since the very beginning, Krakusy focuses on teaching unique dance styles, on educating the young dancer about the fundamentals of Polish folk and national dances, the Polish folklore history and traditions, and on fostering a sense of artistic pride and responsibility from a young age. A dynamic dance program includes dances from Krakow, Slask, Warsaw, Spisz and Beski regions to name a few.
Over the years, Krakusy has performed at various multicultural events such as Canada Day Festivities, Alberta Culture Days, the Lilac Festival, Spruce Meadows “yChristmas Market”, Christmas Nativity Play, Remembrance Day, Independence Day Festivities as well as many smaller venues (schools, churches, community halls, etc.). On numerous occasions, Krakusy has represented Alberta and Canada at the International Folk Music Festivals in Poland.

Throughout Krakusy’s existence, the ensemble has contributed to celebrating Canada’s, Alberta’s, and Calgary’s multi-cultural heritage, by promoting the rich Polish culture among many nationalities. Krakusy has had an opportunity to perform at many events and venues with groups from other nationalities, thereby enhancing the beauty and strength that Alberta and Canada enjoy through the many immigrant groups and individuals of various nationalities. Krakusy currently has dancers that are 1st and 2nd generation Canadians, who have chosen to continue to cultivate their connections to the cultural heritage of their parents and grandparents.
Today they come together to foster their love for the homeland as well as build lifelong relationships. Through fun, dance, laughter and friendship, Krakusy today welcomes over 35 dancers of ages 8-15.
