Instrutora Moranguinho began her Capoeira journey in Australia under the guidance of Mestre Goioere and continued her training in London with Contramestre Madeira.

The school offers classes tailored to different age groups and locations around London. The kids' classes in Forest Gate take place at 1pm on Saturdays at Forest Gate Community School.
