Mestra Márcia “Cigarra” (Márcia Treidler), originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is ACSF’s founder and artistic director, overseeing and directing all performance and instructional programs. She is the lead instructor for the adult and teen capoeira classes.
Mestra Cigarra is one of the top eight capoeiristas out of more than 50,000 international ABADÁ-Capoeira members and the first female student of Mestre Camisa to be awarded the rank “Mestra,” a title shared with some of the world’s top practitioners. Because capoeira was a male-dominated art form for more than 300 years, Mestra Cigarra’s achievements have cleared the path for other women to excel.
Mestra Cigarra began studying capoeira in 1982 under the world-renowned Mestre Camisa. In 1987, she began to conduct classes for street children, youth, and adults in Rio de Janeiro. In 1991, Mestra Cigarra moved to the U.S. and, in 1997, was granted legal permanent residency as an “alien of extraordinary ability.” That same year, she founded the ACSF Brazilian Arts Center.
Her outstanding achievements make her a highly sought-after teacher, an inspirational leader, and an important role model, and she continues to provide a safe and affirming environment for adults, youth, and families in the Bay Area to learn and grow.
Mestra Cigarra maintains international recognition for her accomplishments in the field and teaches regularly throughout Brazil, North America, Europe, Asia, and Israel.
We are more than honored to have Mestra Cigarra assisting this year's Batizado from June 5-7, 2020.

MEET OUR GUEST OF HONOR: MESTRANDO PRETINHO
Mestrando Pretinho (Luiz Carlos Rocha) was born on February 9, 1974, in Rio de Janeiro.
He was nicknamed Pretinho by a nurse on the day of his birth based on his dark skin tone as a baby. Since that first fateful day, Luiz Carlos has always been affectionately known as “Pretinho.”
His older brother Ruberlei, known as "Bilei" introduced "Pretinho" to formal capoeira instructions, after Pretinho begun capoeira at the age of nine in his neighborhood. Soon after that, Pretinho started training in "Rodas" with "Mestre Boa Viagem."
Mestrando Pretinho joined ABADÁ Capoeira in 1997. At his first Batizado with ABADÁ, he was awarded a blue cord. He stayed at that same cord level for eight years. During this time he started teaching capoeira classes in the São Francisco de Assis neighborhood, at APAE (Associação de Pais e Amigos dos Excepcionais), and at the Maria do Céu School.
In addition to his skills as an instructor of both capoeira and self-defense, Mestrando Pretinho is an internationally renowned singer, songwriter, and musician. He is a former Champion of the ABADÁ Brazilian games, and several of his students have won national and international ABADÁ capoeira titles. Mestre Camisa awarded Mestrando Pretinho the prestigious title of Mestrando in 2017. For twenty-four years in the city of Barra Mansa, Pretinho’s ABADÁ Capoeira school has worked to raise cultural and social awareness and promote both social integration and the importance of showing respect for others.
We are truly honored to receive Mestrando Pretinho from June 5-7, 2020, in our beautiful Marin County.
