Against the backdrop of a strengthening scenario of african-Brazilian ethnicity, discussing to what extent the introduction of capoeira promoted by the Program can contribute to implementation of Law 10639/03, responsible for including in LDBEN the theme "History and Culture Afro-Brazilian". We conclude that despite the recognition of capoeira as intangible heritage and orientation to work with its many aspects, the meanings attributed to it in school are in dispute. Thus, the capoeira can be thought of as african-Brazilian culture, as national heritage or as simply a sport.  a1984-9540
