Passo Co was launched by the School in 1993 to explore the skills of experienced Capoeiristas, and capture the spontaneity of Capoeira movement. The School achieved Registered Charity status in 1995, and in September 2000 the School opened a full-time space for Capoeira in Finsbury Park, North London. Promoting Capoeira is a constant task. The dedicated work of the London School of Capoeira masters has resulted in many students, organizations and the media benefiting from this art form. The School's work is very extensive, covering not only London but also the whole of Britain and Europe, teaching workshops and seminars, performing and demonstrating the art form. Quality is an essential part of our teaching approach. Since 1988, only five senior students have become qualified instructors. In our system it takes 7 years of uninterrupted training to become a qualified teacher. |
