31st Youth & Adult Batizado Graduation Performance
Sunday, October 22, 11:00am-1:00pm
“Juntos Somos Mais Fortes”
The Batizado Performance is a traditional graduation ceremony that welcomes new students and recognizes the growth of continuing students in the art of Capoeira.
This event brings together our ABADÁ-Capoeira San Francisco kids, teens, and adults. New kid students will receive a Capoeira nickname in class from Instrutor Soldadinho and Graduada Toninho the weeks prior to the Batizado. At graduation, all participants will receive the appropriate new corda level.
Family-friendly outdoor community celebration!
