Starting today and ending on Sunday, October 1st, the only capoeira festival in Romania will take place in the capital, in two different locations, Herăstrău Park and Stejarii Country Club. Athletes, children, parents and all fans are waiting for three days, similar to a real Brazilian fiesta.

During today’s opening in Herăstrău Park, at the entrance of Charles de Gaulle, the Roda de Capoeira will take place, where the public will be delighted by demonstrations from practitioners of this wonderful sport in the company of famous international masters, special guests of the event. .

Then, for the next two days, Stejarii Country Club will host the festival.

Saturday, September 30, also known as the workshop day, is aimed at both children and adults who want to discover Brazilian culture through capoeira, dance and music. There will be master classes on various topics.

In the interval 10:00-10:40 there is a workshop on mobility and flexibility led by Mr. Antonio Pecurario.

Another workshop by Professor Couscous on Brazilian Samba is scheduled for 10:45-11:25.

The basic movements of capoeira will be presented at the seminar, which will conclude on Saturday, with demonstrations by Contra Mestre Baianinho and Contra Mestre Jejeco.

Sunday, the last stage of the festival, also has the status of the most interesting day, because it is on this day that athletes receive new belts. It is a ritual through which the work and passion invested in the year are rewarded.

The day of October 1 will begin at 9:00 a.m. with half an hour of capoeira music and rhythms.

Then from 9:30 to 11:00 “Baptism”. This is a festival where each beginner (about a year of training!) receives the name of a practicing capoeira from his master, and the festival ends after the capoeira belts are awarded.

Professor Marcelo Cativiro, the organizer of the festival, invites everyone to participate in this show of culture, sport and music.
