Oficina da Capoeira instructor Humberto Passos does cartwheels with his students during an adult capoeira class at Gymnastics World in Naples on Tuesday, July 8. Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian game that combines dance and martial arts with music and language. Passos says that it pivots more on balance and equilibrium and less on actual combat. 'You don't do capoeira,' Passos says. 'You play capoeira.'
