All are invited to watch classes for free or sample them for $15 each from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. For $50 one can attend all the day’s workshops. At 8:30 p.m. there will be a party with Latin music.
Silva the third youngest among 13 children hails from Brazil and started to practice Capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian martial art / dance form, at age 13. At age 17 he became instructor.
