In Capoeira the Batizado is the highlight and the most important event of the year. The Batizado is an annual ceremony and celebration during which new capoeiristas are officially “initiated” into the art/group and receive their capoeira name (apelido), while existing students advance to their next level/cord color. The initiation itself consists of each student playing a “game” of Capoeira with an advanced capoeirista; after the game is over, the student is given a new cord with their level’s color. In addition to the Batizado ceremony, the event will include a warm-up, Capoeira & Maculelê performances (by your children), lots of singing and music, and food and refreshements at the end.
