WOMEN IN CAPOEIRA  

Capoeira Mandinga have a strong group of dedicate women capoeiristas including two of the first women to ever graduate in capoeira in the US (mestra Sorriso graduated in 1992  and mestra Lagosta graduated in 1995). These women along with many other great American female capoeiristas have helped to lay the foundation for the success of women in capoeira in this country. We also have many other dedicated and committed female students that are helping to build up the next generation.

This page is still under construction and in the future will host many interesting things related to the great participation of women in capoeira.
