The mission of ABADÁ-CAPOEIRA DC is to promote, spread, and support Brazilian arts and culture through the practice of capoeira, and to use our practice of capoeira and associated arts to build a healthy and more closely connected Washington, DC-area community. We are organized to accomplish charitable and educational goals including working to lessen socio-economic inequality.
We are an academy and micro nonprofit offering classes in capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian martial and art of self-defense that brings together fighting techniques, acrobatics, dance, percussion, and songs, in a rhythmic dialogue of body, mind, and spirit. We aim to provide all participants, regardless of socioeconomic status, identity, or ability, to learn the art of capoeira with a view to using the practice as a tool for individual and communal growth.
We give back to our community by partaking in social campaigns such as food, clothing, and toys donations and other charitable activities.
