The story of Dendê Arts
Chris "Calado" Rodriguez
Capoeira Teacher
I started training in 2007 and fell in love with the super-human movement, the flow, and the excitement of playing in the roda. Although I work as a Web Developer, I've poured countless hours into creating an environment where people who work – like me – can integrate Capoeira into their lives. My goal has always been to grow the capoeira community and improve their experience. That’s why I’ve created a blog, Youtube channel, Instagram account, made several courses, taught in person and manufactured capoeira gear.

What people are saying
I started my capoeira classes with Calado around 6 months ago, and have had an amazing experience ever since. Each class is designed to cater to the participants, and various capoeira moves are taught with variations for students at different levels. Calado also makes sure to share relevant documents and videos to spread the knowledge about this art, which helps to keep students motivated. In addition, everyone in the class is very friendly and welcoming. I have always recommended this class to my friends, and will continue to do so.

His teaching skills are showcased by his ability to work with anyone regardless of their physical fitness level and let them have a great workout while enjoying and appreciating Capoeria. With my time attending Chris’s class, I gained a plethora of stretches and exercises that are fun to do at home. Definitely worth checking out if your in the mood to have a fun and diverse workout!

Overall a great experience from day one. The environment is peaceful, the teacher is very attentive and knowledgeable and the regulars are kind people who don’t mind spending extra time to help you understand. Calado has reached out to me directly to give feedback as well as study guides and links to further my practice. 10/10 would recommend whether you’re seriously interested in Capoeira or just looking for new things to try.
