Art Capoeira

Is Capoeira dance style considered as art, entertainment or ritual?
If you have any sources, please have it up here. That would be great! Thanks!
Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art…so it’s not enterainment although it is enteraining to watch. It could be ritualist and could be considered an art. I remember watching Only The Strong from 1993 as my first glimpse into capoeira. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107750/
