# Axé Boom Boom – Edinburgh
Axé Boom Boom is a movement and rhythm-based organisation offering Capoeira classes, Djembe drumming sessions, and team-building workshops across Edinburgh. Founded by instructors Kasia and Grześ, the business serves children, adults, and corporate teams seeking engaging, joyful alternatives to conventional fitness and wellness activities.
The organisation specialises in Capoeira — a Brazilian martial art combining dance, acrobatics and music that develops strength, coordination and cultural awareness. Their Djembe drumming classes introduce participants to West African percussion through mindfulness and collective rhythm-making, requiring no prior experience. For businesses, they design bespoke team-building experiences that combine movement and music to boost employee wellbeing and interpersonal connection.
What sets Axé Boom Boom apart is their dual commitment to accessibility and community impact. Classes are deliberately inclusive and welcoming, with testimonials highlighting the "homely environment" and transformative energy participants experience. Crucially, their commercial services — particularly corporate workshops — directly fund free programmes for local children, embedding social responsibility into their business model. This "win-win" approach means clients actively contribute to community wellbeing whilst investing in their own health or team development.
Their philosophy centres on three pillars: movement, connection, and thriving. Rather than positioning exercise as isolating or punitive, they frame Capoeira and drumming as joyful, cultural practices that build confidence, resilience and belonging.
