From July Contra Mestre Borracha will be running 4 week intensive acrobatics courses. ‘Intensive’ as each class will be 2 hours and have a maximum of 10 students to make sure you all get the most out of it. There will be a short break approx 15mins during class for you to rest, as acrobatics can be very demanding on your body! The course will cost $120 for the 4 weeks; for 8 hours of specialised training this is great value!
The course is focused on getting people comfortable with tumbling & jumping with the main feature being learning how to back flip and somersault. If you are already back flipping, we will book you in to the August Course for slightly more advanced acrobatics.
Please email info@capoeiraaruanda.com to confirm your participation. As places will be limited to 10 per course; let us know if you have a preference for July, August. If you have friends interested in acrobatics the course will be beginner friendly so all are welcome to participate.

Important Updates!!!

Hello everyone,
We have some important updates and some exciting news to update everyone with!
Classes in April
Forestville and Daceyville classes will cancelled for April. Classes will only be held at Pyrmont on Wednesday (7:15pm – 8:45pm) and Coogee (7pm – 8pm and 8pm – 9pm) ONLY. Please check the classes page for the address and class times.
Classes from May
We have some great news, we’ll be holding new classes from May at the Rhythm Brazil & Capoeira Aruanda Studio at “201B / 77-83 William Street, East Sydney”. Its exciting news to have a dedicated studio where we’ll be holding the majority of our classes and events from May. We’ll be updating the website during April with class times, including new beginners class times and times for our advanced students as well.
From May, classes will no longer be held in Pyrmont on Wednesday night (we’ll have a class at the studio instead), and classes will also no longer be held at the Eastern Suburbs PCYC. So after many years of classes at those venues (and we thank the venue managers for their support over the last 10 years), we are moving on!
Classes in Forestville will continue in May, but a new location and class time will follow ASAP, so stay tuned for the updates.
Looking forward to seeing everyone in class, and if you are able to put up your hand to help out with setting up the new studio and making it feel like home, please let Contra Mestre Borracha know in class!!
Due to hall renovations, for the month of March classes in Forestville on Monday nights will be moved to a hall on Melwood Avenue (behind the RSL) from 6:45pm. Its only about 5 minutes from the usual hall, there is a map attached of how to get into the car park and hall entrance, don’t park in the RSL carpark, keep driving around and follow the red line. There is also a link below to google maps to help you get directions!
Click HERE to go to google maps and see this picture for the exact location of the hall and where to park your cars Click here to see exact location
See everyone in class at 6:45pm!!
