Maculele-Capoeira Brazilian Festival

Maculele-Capoeira Atlanta is committed to engaging with our local community. Every year our local Georgia non-profit World Capoeira Maculele Arts Foundation host or participate in a variety of initiatives to support our city, neighborhoods, and local schools.

We believe everyone should be able to experience the benefits of Capoeira! We touched thousands of youth and adults through this 501(c)(3) nonprofit program. Each year World Capoeira Maculele Arts Foundation bring special guest artists to Atlanta. These free workshops celebrate additional cultures through different capoeira styles, art presentations, dance and other unique programs.

On Behalf of World Capoeira Maculele Arts Foundation, we are honored to invite Dandley Vizibelli from Londrina, Parana Brazil as a special guest at the event scheduled from Monday, February 12 until Saturday, February 16, 2024! This event will take place at our non-profit headquarters in Downtown Decatur and other public locations in Atlanta, Georgia.

Get the best Capoeira has to offer—connection to culture and master artists, dynamic programming, high-quality instruction, and up-to-date Capoeira technique—all in a welcoming and supportive environment. Join Professor Dandley on Thursday, February 15 at 7:30pm with a special music series that explores the rhythms, instruments, and songs of Capoeira. This class is for intermediate and advancedstudents and will improve skills on the berimbau, atabaque, and pandeiro.
