I will be teaching a Maculelê workshop this Saturday, February 21 at the Mission Cultural Center of Latino Arts at 25th and Mission st.  The class will be from 1:15-3:00. This workshop is going to be in place of the normal Fogo Na Roupa classes so there should be a lot of dancers there with a lot of energy.

We will be breaking down the basic movements and then moving into more in depth choreography. The class will end with a Maculelê roda (and maybe even a little Sambe de Roda)! 

Please bring Maculelê sticks if you have them.

I hope to see everyone there!

I know I am really late on the carnaval pics and, yes, I have been lagging on the posts. Every year, in part with Fogo Na Roupa, we perform for carnaval. This year was unique because we also performed maculélé.
