2024 was a year of growth, new faces and endless reasons to celebrate. It was a year marked by big dreams and new adventures. Here’s a look at some of our very favorite moments and highlights from the year!
So many new students joined our capoeira family!
One of our parents put it best:
“More than a school, Maculele-Capoeira is a community of students, instructors, and family. Through the kindness and support of this community, I’ve watched my son grow in confidence and thrive. Some of his best memories have been made attending classes and events at the school!
We hosted so many birthday parties!
At Maculele Capoeira, we transform birthdays into epic celebrations filled with capoeira fun and excitement! Birthday Party bookings are open if your capoeirista wants to celebrate the MACULELE WAY!
We welcomed new faces to our team
From faculty to our administrative staff, we’ve had some superstar additions to our team! With these bright additions, we’ve been able to hone in on our areas of expertise, which has meant being of greater service to our community
We reached over 100 performances!
In 2024, we are proud to have performed in over 100 shows, reaching thousands of community members across Georgia.
