Doors open at 6:30 and the show will begin at 7 PM.

Tickets are $20 via Eventbrite beforehand or $30 cash or Venmo at the door.

KIDS tickets are $20 via Eventbrite beforehand and $15 cash or Venmo at the door. (Kids are welcome and need to be supervised in the Alliance Theater at all times.)

All proceeds will go to Salt Lake Capoeira to fundraise for their upcoming capoeira batizado event in April. This fundraiser will help cover the costs of bringing in more than 10 professional guest capoeira artists including their airfare, accommodations, and artist fees. These guests will provide capoeira workshops to local students and perform during our event on Saturday, April 27 at the Alliance Theater.

Salt Lake Capoeira shares the vibrant Afro-Brazilian art form of capoeira through regular classes for kids and adults, community outreach, and performances. It’s led by Volta Miúda capoeira group founder, Mestre Jamaika (Mauro Romualdo), who brings his expertise from Northeastern Brazil where capoeira originated.

Capoeira began over 500 years ago when Africans who were taken to Brazil and enslaved trained to fight while disguising it as a dance. Over the years this “dance-like fight” evolved into capoeira, and today it brings people together to share positivity through movement and community.
