Capoeira Brasil Calgary welcomes you to our fifth Festival & Batizado Graduation, May 28–31, 2026. This event includes kids & adult workshops with visiting teachers, rodas, graduation ceremony and so much more!
The Batizado is the 'baptism' or initiation into Capoeira for new students, combined with the Troca de Cordas ceremony where dedicated students earn their next belt level. Mestres and teachers from around the world will be coming to Calgary for an event you won't soon forget. We look forward to expanding our knowledge of Capoeira through workshops, rodas, and music classes — we hope you can make it!
