Our promise

Nobody is turned away for inability to pay.

In Webster, boutique fitness can run $20–$40 a class and memberships top $150 a month — out of reach for many working families. As a nonprofit, we do it differently.

  • Sliding-scale scholarships

    Our scholarship fund covers 25–100% of program costs for low-income families, seniors, and youth.

  • Sponsor a student or senior

    One gift can keep a child in after-school programs or a senior moving all year long.

  • Funded by community, not contracts

    Donations, grants, and sponsors cross-subsidize access — so price is never the reason someone stops coming.

The cultural heart

A truly unique martial art

Capoeira — pronounced ka-poo-AY-rah — is an Afro-Brazilian art form built from acrobatics, dance, and music. Through our Capoeira Luanda lineage, students of all ages learn kicks, escapes, and the rhythm of the roda.

Rooted in history, focused on community. Led by Contramestre Morcego and the Capoeira Luanda group, our program connects students to a living tradition — and to each other.
