Class in Rio



More news from Brazil - Treinel Gingadinha prepares a shipment of materials for instruments for the Melbourne School. Expect a supply of various Capoeira instruments for our school rodas. After more classes with the Flor da Gente School in Catete, Rio de Janeiro, the excitement felt by Gingadinha to get back to Melbourne students is growing.

Luckily, us students here in Australia have this direct link with the Flor da Gente School in Brazil as a source of information, inspiration and support for our own learning. A wealth of knowledge exists there in the classes taught by Mestre Mano. For the Melbourne students considering travelling to Brazil soon - a visit to the school would see them welcomed with open arms.

Flor da Gente Brasil





Treinel Gingadinha is currently in Rio de Janeiro with Mestre Mano at the Flor da Gente School's academy. This picture was taken from one of the games Gingadinha played with Mestre Mano.

Gingadinha has been holding classes at the academy, training with Mestre Mano and training with Treinel Cigano, Treinel Rato, Treinel Ajax and Treinel Maicol. It is a very important time, to be working with people at the Academy and taking part in some changes to its organisation. Many thanks to all the students, old and new, and the visitors to the Catete Academy.
