About the Event

In 2026, we are excited to dive once again into the world of Capoeira Angola with Dana & Estrelinha (Tom).

Dana and Estrelinha are incredible capoeiristas, musicians, and teachers. Their unique energy, depth of knowledge, and personal expression of Capoeira make this an opportunity we’re truly grateful for. Throughout the weekend, we’ll explore their point of view, philosophy, and style, both in movement and in music, creating space for learning and connection.

Join us for our 2026 winter Capoeira event as we come together for a focused, immersive weekend of training, music, and community. The vision behind this festival is to slow things down and go deeper, allowing participants to truly absorb the movement, concepts, philosophy, and musical expression being shared. The weekend is designed to help students and practitioners fully tune in, explore, and experience Capoeira in a meaningful and intentional way, both inside and outside the roda.

We look forward to sharing a weekend full of learning, energy, and connection with you.
