Our first Capoeira Christmas Party was a blast! We kicked off with dynamic stretches, then dove into handstand, cartwheel, and bridge-race challenges. Everyone got their capoeira apelidos (nicknames), and we wrapped up the night sharing creamy açaí bowls and fresh pão de queijo. Great moves, great nicknames, and great Brazilian treats!
Thought for a couple of seconds
To celebrate our club’s first anniversary, we asked everyone to bring healthy snacks (no sweets, crisps, or soft drinks). We kicked things off with quick presentations on how the club runs and our plans for the year, then dove into an Introduction to Maculelê session, complete with training and music. Next, we handed out capoeira apelidos (nicknames) and wrapped up by enjoying those snacks and some great conversation.
