To mark the roda as "special", Mestre Silvinho has requested that people wear white pants and a white t-shirt to the roda. Special rodas in white (roda de branco) are often held for celebratory purposes; for example, here:
 |
| A women's Bateria |
 |
| Canjica and Robert playing the jogo de angola |
 |
| An intergenerational community practice |
Official capoeira classes in Bellingham will be on hiatus until Sunday, January 12th. On that date we will resume music classes. Because of the cold, we will be meeting on the ground floor of Bond Hall at WWU, at 11am. Regular movement classes will resume on Monday, January 13th in the Multipurpose Room of the Viking Union.
Also, mark your calendars because on Saturday January 18th we were invited to perform at the annual Martin Luther King Conference at lunch time - around 11:30pm.Mestre Silvinho will be joining us, and possibly we will have the special participation of Treinel Huu from FICA - Chicago.
We will probably schedule Other classes for that day to take advantage of Huu's presence.UPDATE (Dec 27th): Huu will not be joining us.
Treinel is a title given by the Mestres to recognize someone who they trust to teach classes independently, because they have learned a sufficient amount about the history, movements, music, and more broadly the culture of capoeira.
Huu is one of a small but growing number of women who has been recognized as a Treinel, after many years of training and studying under our Mestres. She is currently affiliated with FICA- Chicago.
Be safe, and go see 12 years a slave while you can.
