About the event
2023 marks 20 years since CapoeiraDC was established as a non-profit organization here in Washington, DC by Contra Mestre Morcego and Professora Borboleta, with six others. Since our founding, we have grown to empower thousands of youth, adults, and families across the District with capoeira's art form of liberation.
We are holding our biggest Axé Fest to celebrate our 20 years, including a three-day encounter with workshops and LOTS of roda.
