Our Capoeira lessons take place at the SLC Arts Hub of the Utah Arts Alliance, just west of the Gateway. When the weather is warm (May–October), we hold our Capoeira classes outside in the park, under the sun, and with the grass between our toes.

5 Dude, I Didn’t Even Know What to Expect ?
dude . . . for real, where do I start here? I’ve never done dance or martial arts, so I had no idea what to expect walking into Mestre Jamaika’s Capoeira class. All I knew was that I’d seen him perform before, and it was the most unique movement I’d ever witnessed—I knew I had to try it. The moment I walked in, I was greeted by so many welcoming faces. The vibe is unreal—it’s full of love, warmth, and a real sense of community. You don’t just show up to learn Capoeira; you show up to make friends. Mestre Jamaika’s instruction is super clear, and even though I felt awkward and out of my element at first, he helped me settle in quickly, even in a larger class. He’s patient, intuitive, and seriously skilled at what he does. He knows how to guide you without pressure, and you can feel how much he cares about your growth. If you’re looking to experience something totally new, learn from someone genuine, and open your eyes to another culture, Mestre Jamaika is the guy to know. It’s been an amazing way to move my body and explore something I never thought I’d do!
HELPFULSalt Lake Capoeira for Kids
Capoeira began over 500 years ago when the Africans who were taken to Brazil and enslaved trained to fight while disguising it as a dance. Today, Mestre Jamaika teaches kids through adults of all levels, all aspects of capoeira: strength, flexibility, movement, endurance, coordination, vocal and instrumental skills, cultural awareness, confidence, teamwork, and community. In this authentic capoeira class for kids, we seek to improve our physical and mental health as we work together to strengthen our community. We invite parents to enroll their kids of all ages in our hands-on capoeira class and see how it can transform your child's life and friendships.

Virtual Chocolate Tasting & Cacao Tour
What is an online chocolate tasting? You might be surprised to find out just how much fun it can be with family and friends! Gather your favorite craft bean-to-bar chocolates, or connect with me beforehand and I'll help you find quality, ethically sourced chocolates to try. Together, we'll go on a journey deep into the world of cacao. Through storytelling and tasting, we'll explore cacao's history, science, health benefits, spirituality, and the process of turning cacao into chocolate. We'll weave together a tapestry that's both beautiful and dark, sweet and bitter, just like chocolate itself. We'll also discover how different origins, fermentation, and roasting styles shape chocolate's flavor, using a tasting map to guide our palates. This experience will change the way you look at cacao and deepen your relationship with the "food of the gods," while discovering what the real value of cacao is all about.
