The International Capoeira Angola Foundation in Seattle is a non-profit educational organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the African Brazilian cultural art form of Capoeira Angola. Founded by Mestre Jurandir Nascimento in 1997, the foundation fosters a vibrant community committed to social transformation through empowering individuals to overcome limitations.
Capoeira Angola, a fluid and rhythmic martial art, dance, and ritual, is taught through improvised movements, acrobatics, and music in a circle known as the roda. Mestre Silvinho, a dedicated student of Mestre Jurandir, continues to lead the group in Seattle, offering classes for adults and children to experience the rich traditions and philosophy of Capoeira Angola.
