Muito obrigado
to mestre Acordeon and mestre Rã for their recent excellent
workshops, and for supporting our school in Miami, FL! Salve mestres! Also, abraços
e agradecimento to mestres Lobão, Rony, Amen, Curisco, Panão, Glauber, Nego Gato, Belisquinho and
Catitu; contra-mestres Galo, Jamaika and Muriel;
professores Picapau and Recruta for visiting our academy, giving workshops and/or
attending our batizado.

In 2006, Cais Dourado - Miami Capoeira will continue our tradition of
hosting visiting mestres, teachers and stimulating capoeira events in Miami, FL. Each UCA
workshop has been inspired and unique, with our mestres personally guiding the
direction of our school. Mestre Acordeon will be here later on this year,
and mestre Rã will return in March!

Mestre Acordeon
is an international celebrity from Bahia, the birthplace of capoeira. His life
demonstrates capoeira's potential. Cais Dourado - Miami Capoeira is very fortunate to be led by one
of the most honored and successful capoeira mestres of the modern era. His
training is always inspired. His music is creative, personal and fabulous.
Mestre Acordeon is one of only ten graduated mestres of the pivotal
mestre Bimba. He is a true elder of the art form, and the author of the
acclaimed "Capoeira, A Brazilian Art Form."

Upcoming Workshops
Mestre Rã
will return to Miami, FL and lead our group in March. This will include
intense training, but mestre's animated, fun style will be sure to entertain as
well. Mestre Rã moved to California from São Paulo in the 1980's as one of the
premier young capoeiristas in the United States at the time. He teamed up with
mestre Acordeon and they built what eventually became the United Capoeira
Association. His expressive, artistic, playful, creative ways permeate and
enrich UCA capoeira.
