Highlights from our 2023 Batizado Ceremony and Capoeira performance

hosted by ABADÁ-Capoeira Marin

Congratulations to all abadá marin students who moved up a cord level this year. You deserve it! a brand new cord for you to sweat out in training!

Our batizado theme was “sertões nordestinos” to raise awareness of this incredible and culturally dynamic region of northeastern brazil. At our recent batizado, our students performed three cultural traditions from brazil's northeast region: maculelê, aboio and the quadrilha dance. Many thanks to graduada negona 🌷 and coragem 🌷for the great job arranging the video!
