Step into a bright studio in Porto and feel the room breathe with rhythm: palms clap, a berimbau hums, and the ginga — the signature swaying step — pulls you into motion. The workshop opens with gentle stretching and warm-ups that loosen hips and shoulders, then guides apprentices through the ginga, basic kicks and evasions, and the call-and-response of capoeira songs.
