Founded in 1995 by Mestre Marco António, the Capoeira Alto Astral Group is present in mainland Portugal (Greater Lisbon, Porto, Évora, Sesimbra), Germany, Romania and France. Its objectives, in addition to the promotion of capoeira, are equality between social classes, mutual respect and better use of life, which is provided through the practice of this art. Based on the styles of Capoeira Regional, Angola and modern capoeira, our work method values all aspects of capoeira, which is why we practice it as folk, martial, playful and cultural art.
