The Sunday ceremony is open to the public, and will open with a performance featuring top level artists from around the world. During the ceremony, beginning capoeiristas are formally welcomed into our school: they play their first jogo (game) with a master or high-level instructor, receive their first cord, and earn their apelido (nickname). More experienced students may also receive a new cord during the troca de cordas (“changing of cords”), recognizing their continued growth and dedication.
