🌟 Feliz Dia do Capoeirista! 🌟

Today we celebrate the art, the tradition, and the warriors who keep the spirit of capoeira alive. At Axé Capoeira Chicago, we are proud to carry this legacy forward under the leadership of Mestrando Bambu, whose dedication, discipline, and passion inspire our entire community.

Capoeira is more than movement — it’s culture, history, and resistance. It’s music, rhythm, and community. And it lives in every roda we share.

To all capoeiristas: thank you for preserving this beautiful art and for moving with axé, purpose, and heart.

Parabéns, família! ✨💛

Congratulations to all of our students in our inaugural End of Winter Batizado. This is our first year hosting this smaller event and we couldn't be happier with the results. We will be hosting 2 events per year moving forward!

We had a couple milestones. Our first group of students from the new Rolling Meadows Academy got their first belts. Also, our first students from the afterschool program get theirs as well.

Thank you to our guests .jay.camara .capoeira for your presence and help with this event.

Thank you .kolhouse
And for the dance workshop and performance.

Last week we hosted our 20 year anniversary batizado and it was incredible. It took us a while to recover and gather ourselves. Thank you to all of the students and guests who came to celebrate with us. It warms our hearts to know you chose to be here with us to commemorate this milestone.

Special thanks to our honored guests and for dedicating their lives to capoeira and paving the way for people like us to have the opportunity to live our lives for capoeira as well. To have you both in our home was an honor.

The weekend was packed full of workshops, rodas, music, dancing, and performances. .k.dance put together magical choreographies combined with her elaborate hand crafted costumes by her brand to grace the stage accompanied by incredible music by

Thank you to guests and members in attendance for making this 20 year anniversary a very special weekend for us and everyone involved. See you at the 40 year anniversary!
