What is a Copoeira troupe?
Capoeira troupe is a group of people who practice capoeira, a Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatics, and music. Capoeira troupes typically consist of a mestre (master) who leads the group and several students of varying skill levels. The troupe may also include musicians who play instruments such as the berimbau, a single-stringed musical bow, and the pandeiro, a tambourine. Capoeira troupes often perform in public, demonstrating the art of capoeira and sharing its cultural significance.
