Axé Boom Boom
Edinburgh’s only Capoeira Academy for children and young people, and Djembe drumming school for all ages.
We believe in a world of limitless possibilities, where the journey is as exhilarating as the destination.
Our destination is the world where all children exercise for life. Our journey is training Capoeira and Djembe drumming with them and encouraging grownups to set the example too by being active for life.
We believe that active & healthy child equals happy family, school and community!
After over 20 years of training and many years of teaching Capoeira with group TUCUM & Djembe Drumming as freelancers, Kasia and Grześ decided to turn their business into a force for good and set up a social enterprise to provide lasting solutions to children inactivity by supporting and building healthy and active lives for children and their families.
We’re based on the principle that all youth and their families, regardless of financial, ethnical, physical, and social background, should have equal access to physical and music activities that support healthy development.
Our paid services of after school and breakfast classes, workshops, birthday parties and events raise money to cover business expenses and go towards free services of school programmes, community workshops and events for children and their families, especially those from lower financial backgrounds who wouldn’t normally be able to experience Capoeira and Djembe drumming.
