Batizado is the annual occasion where new members will be officially “baptized” into the group and receive their first corda and where continuing members, depending on their progress, will receive a new one. Additionally, we are hosting the 2nd ACDC Capital Games where students from all over will compete to become champion.

ACDC is a nonprofit dedicated to promote, spread, and support Brazilian arts and culture through the practice of capoeira, and to use our practice of capoeira to build a healthy and more closely connected DMV community. We are organized to accomplish charitable and educational goals including working to lessen socio-economic inequality. We strongly value empowering people to realize their full potential as responsible, inspiring, productive community members.
