Master of Brazilian capoeira, Yara Cordeiro, is apprenticing Ruthie Lezama of Reston, VA, in our Virginia Folklife Apprenticeship Program.
They both come from Abada-Capoeira DC whose effort is to promote, spread, and support Brazilian arts and culture through the practice of capoeira, and to use the practice of capoeira to build a healthy and more closely connected community.
For the latest episode of the Folklife Fieldnotes series, Pat Jarret went to a batizado, where they were honoring their students’ achievements and ranking in capoeira.
Folklife Fieldnotes is produced in partnership with WMRA by Chris Boros.
