XIII Encontro Cultural 2023 Fall Batizado & Cord Changing Event

We cannot wait to celebrate the progress of our students with our families and greater capoeira community. We will honor students with their next or first cord and gather for workshops and rodas with special guests during the days leading up to the big event. The Encontro Cultural is not just about testing and advancing; it's a celebration of Brazilian culture, music, and the camaraderie that capoeira brings. The event will be filled with workshops, performances, and opportunities to connect with fellow capoeiristas. It's an occasion to deepen your knowledge, enhance your skills, and build lasting friendships within our supportive community.
