Scenes from KQED’s If Cities Could Dance featuring Filhos de Bimba School of Capoeira

UPDATES

Thanks for those who came out for our anniversary class! Twelve years is no small feat!

However, it was a bittersweet celebration because at the end of April, FdB Bay Area will officially close. April 29 will be our last class. This was a difficult decision to make. I’m happy + proud to do lead this group. However, at this time, I have other priorities that require me to step away.

The group that has been regularly training is still committed to staying engaged with this art form. If you’re curious about training with them, send an email to be connected. If we are able to come and open our doors again, I hope that we will have your support.

As for me, I’ll continue to develop my own capoeira - studying, reading, researching - heal from my knee injury and support the many capoeira groups in the Bay Area and around the country who continue to share this art.

Many thanks to our teachers, Mestre Nenel and Professor Malandro and the many people who’ve contributed and supported Filhos de Bimba Bay Area School of Capoeira for the past 12 years.
