VADIANDO Vermont 2026
10 DAYS | JUNE 25 - JULY 5
Vadiando Vermont 2026 | Thursday June 25 - Sunday July 5
Vadiando Vermont is 10 days of immersive capoeira workshops, classes, rodas and 'vadiar' [ hanging out ] to celebrate the global capoeira family. All lineages, groups and levels welcome.
Today the variety of lineages and traditions, styles and approaches to capoeira are vast but, despite these differences, all capoeiristas are connected by their love and dedication to this afro-brazilian movement form that fuses play, dance, martial arts, and ritual through community, energy and music.
Vadiando Vermont, inspired by the monthly ‘Vadiando’s’ of the late Mestre Itabora in California and other events, is an opportunity for capoeiristas of all kinds and levels to immerse themselves in the form and play a LOT! To focus on what connects us and not divides us and to spend time together.
Whether you are a teacher of capoeira, a dedicated player, or someone new to the form, we welcome you. Families are welcome and folks are invited to come for a weekend, a day or two during the week, or for the entire 10 days. Beds are available on a first-come/first-serve basis Rodas will happen daily and there will be instrument making as well as visiting teachers offering classes in music and movement. Axé Povo! Hope to see you there.
