The Brazilian Arts Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing cultural education and building community through the preservation and sharing of Brazilian culture. The organization was created in 2001 to preserve and promote Brazilian culture in the greater Houston metropolitan area.  In 2006, the organization established a cultural center in order to further develop and expand its program and performance offerings.  Located in the historic Houston Heights, the center provides a home in which the Foundation offers the majority of its classes and workshops, as well as hosts events and educational programs.


From the roots and traditions of Mestre Jelon Viera, they present Capoeira Luanda. The game challenges physical agility and coordination, as well as strategy and interaction. Students learn the physical art, as well as how to play music (an essential component of the game) on a variety of instruments used in the roda, and to sing and speak in Portuguese. Samba de Gafieira is a partner dance from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, that evolved as a ballroom dance to the Brazilian samba musical rhythms.
