Roda do Parque

Let’s pray for sunshine!

It’s been on the schedule for a while, but I didn’t want mother nature to know we were planning to head out for the day. This Sunday is Park Roda day!

Bring your berimbaus and pandeiros, bring your capoeira pants and t-shirts, and bring your axé! We’ll be spending the day in Tokyo’s best kept secret and most beautiful park for playing capoeira. Tachikawa Showa Kinen Koen. There’ll be capoeira acro training, rodas, samba, and lots of fun! Bring your guitars, frisbees, soccer balls and whatever else you want. It might get a little chilly in the afternoon, so bring some warm clothes too.

Tell your friends and family, bring your co-workers and your neighbours, you can even bring your pets this time!
