A Roda to Remember!

I know the title does not make sense but the R in Roda is said like an H! (Portugese)

So tonight we went to a wonderful Capoeira performance. Their were I believe about 30 Masters there from all over the USA and other countries. Our family have been to a couple of these, due to the fact that Garran served his mission in Joao Pessoa, Brazil. Garran learned from some people while he was there and then continued it when he got home. Since we have had children he has not been able to do it as much, but I know that he is looking forward to doing it again soon. So anyways we went tonight because it is rare to see so many masters play together. I am putting some of the videos I shot on here. They are so much fun to watch. I would have enjoyed myself a little more had one of my children not been so grumpy. Also due to the fact that we accidentally dropped a pacifier on top of one of the Masters. He smiled and threw it back up to the top level where we were sitting. At first they did a performance with the children taking capoeira at the local capoeira school. I tried to snap a shot, but it was kind of blurry. Then they spoke for a little while on what capoeira is, where it originated, and things like that. Then they began the roda. (In Portuguese, R sounds like H). That is what the videos above are of. I really enjoy watching this and I know that Garran really gets excited about it as well. Towards the end, well the end for me, because it was getting close to the boys bed times. All of the masters and other players did some tricks. So here is a shot of them all doing one special trick. It was a fun night, but one looking back that I wish would have been a date night instead! =)
