A Dança da Guerreira

March 26 – 28, 2010
at the Capoeira Mandinga Academy & Cultural Center

Please join us for a series of workshops, dance performances, and bate papo, celebrating the accomplishments of the strong, persistent, and passionate women in Capoeira.

We are honored to host both of the highest-ranking women in Capoeira Mandinga, Mestra Sorriso and Mestra Lagosta. Along with the other Mestras, Contra-Mestras, Professoras, and Formandas who will lead the workshops, they have played a significant role in changing the dynamics of the game. With a unique perspective, each woman has led new explorations of the art form, pushing the boundaries and understandings of Capoeira’s underlying principle of “resistance to oppression."

The workshops will culminate in a high-energy Brazilian dance festival with performances of Capoeira and other Afro-Brazilian folkloric dances.
