Capoeira Workshops for Schools and Groups

Schools and parent councils, after-school and camp organisers, community centres, libraries and event organisers.

A fee per workshop or per block of sessions, sometimes with extra for performances and cultural demonstrations.

• Capoeira skill and teaching experience, especially with children
• Engaging group management
• Explaining the history and culture of capoeira
• Contacting and pitching to organisers

• Working with children usually needs a police vulnerable sector check, check what each school or organiser requires
• Commercial general liability insurance, as schools often ask for proof of coverage
• School and camp bookings are seasonal, and winter transport can be a challenge
• Check each school board's rules for outside contractors and approved vendors
• Carrying instruments and equipment between venues

Estimates suggest startup costs typically around $500 to $2,500, depending on the instruments and equipment you carry, insurance and your promotional materials. You travel to venues, so you don't need your own premises.

Estimated monthly revenue is typically around $500 to $2,500, depending on how many bookings you win and your local demand. The estimate assumes at least about 6 hours a week. School and camp bookings are seasonal.

Check what police vulnerable sector check each school or organiser requires, and that you hold commercial general liability insurance, as schools often ask for proof. Also check each school board's rules for outside contractors and approved vendors.
