A special week-long series of workshops, talks and rodas with Mestre Jogo de Dentro, from Salvador, Bahia, Brazil.
…
Workshops will focus on the movements, strategy, music and ritual of Capoeira Angola. Capoeira Angola, sometimes called capoeira mãe or the mother capoeira, is often described as an older more African style of capoeira. Mestre Jogo de Dentro is a student of Mestre Joåo Pequeno, himself a student of Mestre Pastinha. Named, “Jogo de Dentro” by Mestre João Grande for his inside and close style of play, Mestre Jogo’s life is one of dedication to the study and teaching of Capoeira Angola around the world. He has several nucleuses of his group, Semente do Jogo de Angola in Brazil, Italy, and Canada. This is a unique opportunity to study with one of the great masters of Capoeira Angola and attend true rodas in the Angola style led by Mestre Jogo de Dentro.
