    Staff with instruments to create Brazilian music to accompany movement.

    Closer to 4.5 because directions initially took me to the Decatur recreation center, which is down the road from this location. The outstanding customer service by staff and owners prompted the five star rating. For clarity, this location is closest to the Marta station entrance. If facing the entrance it will be to the left with several other restaurants and shops. Now for the good part, the capoeira class was spaced out to allow for distancing and space to master the movements that were being taught. The family run business was being instructed by the father, who was brought here to teach capoeira in the states from Brazil. The mother & daughter are also phenomenal instructors that make up this great team. Staff moved around to ensure that participants were correctly executing the moves and provide words of encouragement for those who found it a bit challenging. Initially I was part of that group, but it was still a lot of fun working to master the moves and get a good work out at the same time! As part of an introduction class and Yelp elite event, we were provided with Brazilian snacks and beverages as well as water, fruit and souvenir bottles. The hydration was needed as we embarked on part two of the class which was more interactive and equally fun. The owner was thoughtful enough to select me as one of the first people to demo recent learnings including a combination of movements of defense and exercise which was very engaging. Definitely planning to return as I like to promote muscle confusion by incorporating different workout styles in my routine. The studio also has an upstairs section which I will explore in the future visits.

    What a great first experience! Atmosphere: If you're coming for the first time and feel a little intimidated, you'll soon get over that feeling. You'll be greeted by the daughter of the establishment, who is really sweet and welcoming! If her parents (owners) are there, they'll invite you in with open arms. The attendees, experienced or not, come together to encourage everyone, so it makes the learning experience seem easier to handle. Parking: A little difficult because it's smack dab in Decatur Square, but you will eventually be able to find something. I'd recommend coming a little early if you're not attending a morning class. Capoeira: SO FUN!!! What a workout. When I told friends I was trying it out, one said that I'll come out with my legs burning, but the work out is so worth it, and another said "THAT'S FROM BOB'S BURGERS!" Great feedback! Lol Tip 1: Wear very stretchy pants/shorts! Tip 2: Bring a towel. You will sweat...A LOT! Tip 3: Don't forget your water! Tip 4: Let loose and have fun! Would I recommend? Absolutely! Will I be back? Yep, and with some friends!

    I attended a free dance class night for a Yelp review event. The teacher didn't really instruct and…read morejust started dancing. The class was really full and it was hard to see what she was doing and it was very hard to follow. A few songs she would just walk off mid dance. I am a beginner level dancer so it could have been my lack of knowledge but it was very confusing and I left feeling like I didn't know any more about the dance than when I started. It's possible it was challenging because there were so many people there and that paid classes are much better since this was a free event.

    This studio has an amazing amount of space to host classes. It's well kept and clean and in the…read moreheart of downtown Decatur right off the square. I have been here for a number of classes and events and the issue I have has always been the same. PARKING!!! OMG!!!!! Parking at this studio is atrocious. They literally have 7 spots in the back of the building IF you can find it. Those spots are so tight that it also depends on the type of vehicle you drive....whether or not you will get a coveted spot. I adore this business, but PARKING......is horrible. If you come to an event after hours you will be able to park somewhere on the street for free; after 6 p.m. on weekdays. Other than that you may have to pay for parking and walk to the studio. Just prepare yourself and leave early enough to find a parking spot or take MARTA. You'll enjoy the classes you take here, you won't enjoy spending a lot of time looking for somewhere to park.
