Save the Dates: Annual Batizado & Graduation Ceremony (and Mestra Cigarra’s birthday weekend!)
Mark your calendars for October 22nd – 26th! It’s time for our Batizado and Capoeira workshops. The Batizado tradition formally welcomes beginners into our school, and some students are awarded a new cord during the troca de corda, or “changing of cords,” ceremony. To “baptize” new students into capoeira, each beginner plays a jogo (game) with a high-level instructor or master, receives their first cord, and is given an “apelido” (nickname).
If you’re a new student, we invite you to be part of this special event. Our Batizado week is the biggest event of the year, and you won’t want to miss it! Stay tuned for more information as we get closer to October.
