UTS Capoeira Club
Women’s Capoeira Encounter 2013
Jan 31st
The Women’s Capoeira Encounter 2013 is being organised by our very own Formanda Mariana Potiguara and UTS Capoeira Club. This event celebrates International Women’s Day (the 8th of March).
This yearly event promotes Capoeira for Women, introducing Capoeira as a sport and form of art to the Sydney community. Capoeiristas from different ages, backgrounds, groups and levels of Capoeira have the same intention for this event : to make new friends, share knowledge and experience, and to be inspired by each other.
Visit our Facebook page for more information about the event.
Mariana will be back on the 25th of August!
