These awe-inspiring performances expose students to high-level ABADÁ-Capoeira San Francisco artists performing capoeira and the folkloric stick dance, Maculelê. Audiences learn the history of these cultural art forms, experience its music, and see the physical skills and techniques involved in their mastery.

The United Nations General Assembly first declared this World Day in 2002, following UNESCO’s adoption of the 2001 Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity, recognizing the need to “enhance the potential of culture as a means of achieving prosperity, sustainable development, and global peaceful coexistence.” This year, La Scuola will be celebrating by uplifting traditional cultural dance. Performances will be organized for all three campuses and each performance will need to max 10 minutes long.
