Omulu Capoeira Batizado & Troca de Cordas

Capoeira is a 400-year-old martial art that blends music, dance, singing, and acrobatics. Originating in Africa, Capoeira was developed in Brazil by African slaves who disguised their training as song and dance. The Batizado, or "baptism," is a long-held tradition of Capoeira groups across the world in which new members are initiated into the group and many older members receive promotions. Attendees will experience all aspects of the art of Capoeira at this free event.
