Luiz Henrique Menezes Guimarães, from Brazil, is also known as Professor Gordinho.
With over twenty years of experience as a capoeira competitor, teacher, singer, and composer of capoeira music he has brought the richness of Brazilian culture to diverse communities around the world and now, to New York City. Professor Gordinho’s capoeira classes are focused on capoeira movements, playing instruments and singing in Portuguese.
