Not a dance nor a martial art, but a little bit of both, Capoeira is a pure expression of Baiano culture, and Itacaré one of the best places in Brazil to practice this art.

Local groups
There are 3 main groups in Itacaré: Grupo Luanda, Filhos de Zumbi and Tribo do Porto. They all play Regional style capoeira. Everyday, they organize rodas (circles) for Capoeira, where many youths of Itacaré come to participate. Visitors are welcome.
