20 years of Group Capoeira Brasil
(posted 5/04/2009)
We're celebrating the 20 years of Group Capoeira Brasil this year. Special events have been hosted by Grupo Capoeira Brasil all over the planet and we will have the chance to celebrate it here in North Carolina. This month, Instrutora Promessa from Rio de Janeiro and our Formado Caxias will be at the Terreiro teaching 4 days of workshops with tons of fun, roda, games and AXE!
Workshops are Wednesday May 20th through Saturday May 23th and an important event, Encontro, on Sunday May 24th.

Advanced Class, Monday 4/20/2009, cancelled for weather warnings
(posted 4/20/2009)
Hello CB-NC,The National Weather Service has issued the following tornado watch:
TORNADO WATCH 178 REMAINS VALID UNTIL 10 PM EDT THIS EVENING FOR THE FOLLOWING AREASIN CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA ALAMANCE CHATHAM DURHAM EDGECOMBE FRANKLIN GRANVILLE HALIFAX NASH ORANGE PERSON VANCE WAKE WARREN THIS INCLUDES THE CITIES OF... BURLINGTON... CHAPEL HILL... DURHAM... HENDERSON... LOUISBURG... NASHVILLE... OXFORD... PITTSBORO... RALEIGH... ROANOKE RAPIDS... ROCKY MOUNT... ROXBORO AND WARRENTON.
Because many of our members commute to class we feel it is better to cancel class tonight and keep people off the highways as much as possible. If the watch is moved up to a warning it means a tornado has been spotted in the area and you may have very little time to prepare.
We will make up the class later this week.
Stay safe.
Sorry for any inconvenience
Mestre Caxias is in Durham later this week!
