I just love Capoeira!

So Tatyana had another Batizado, which is just a ceremony to change cords. It's very exciting when they do this kind of event because they bring different professors and masters from all over the place. Some of them were from Florida! It's almost like a dance, so controlled and so beautiful to watch.
Sometimes they will have Capoeira performances like this in malls or during the Brazilian Festival, but it's always so crowded that you are really not able to enjoy the Roda. Batizados are more private, just for the capoeira students and their families and friends. It's awesome!
I can get a little too obsessed about it... I invited my friend Katie and her daughter Haley to come and watch with us. It was very long and it was really hot in that room. I'm sorry Katie... You endured really well the almost 2 hours of Capoeira in that too small of a room for too many people. Of course I was okay... I couldn't stop watching it.
I can't wait for the next one!

How neat! I would love to watch Capoeira (Wish I new how to pronounce it.:) sometime too. Tatyana is so beautiful!
Love Ya,

Don't apologize! We had so much fun. We would have stayed longer, but Haley takes after her dad: she's completely heat-intolerant. She was dying. But she kept talking about it all weekend, and she keeps practicing the pronunciation. She's determined to get it perfect. :)
