North Star Capoeira was founded in Bloomington, Indiana by Contra-Mestre Iuri Hart Santos in 1998. Since then the group has expanded to Indianapolis and Evansville, IN and Georgetown, TX. The group strives to preserve the art of Capoiera angola primarily by teaching classes to people of all ages. Students learn movements, music and traditions of Capoeira Angola.

We also offer performances and workshops in schools and at cultural events to enrich our community by spreading awareness of this art and its unique history. Feel free to contact us about performances or workshops for your organization.

Approximately every other year we travel as a group to Salvador da Bahia, Brazil to immerse ourselves in the culture of Capoeira and create opportunities for cross-cultural exchange
