Homenaje al Día Internacional de la Mujer, a su Participación y continua contribución en la Capoeira.

“Diversidad y la construcción del derecho a la equidad.”
La pregunta no debería ser que obstáculos deben vencer las mujeres, si no “Cuales son los obstáculos que necesitan ser vencidos por la Capoeira para integrar de manera respetuosa y calificada la presencia de la mujer?” (Mestre Janja, Textos de Brasil No. 14)

“…la Capoeira está en constante dialogo con la sociedad que la rodea,…y las luchas de las mujeres en la sociedad, también son vividas en la práctica de la Capoeira.” (Mestre Janja, Textos de Brasil No. 14)

Rueda de Capoeira Angola,
Abierta, están todos invitados a asistir, conocer, charlar, tocar, cantar y vadiar!

Lunes 8 de marzo (con lluvia, sin lluvia, con paro o sin paro!)
