We are committed to breaking down barriers that may hinder student participation in classes which is why we have maintained our in-person virtual hybrid model for those who wish to continue training and developing their skills but face challenges attending classes. Our Portuguese language classes have seen an increase leading to improved fluency among our students. Each month we highlight a new capoeira song for us to learn enabling us to sing play new instrument rhythms and grasp the deeper cultural meanings behind the songs of Brazil. We had a total of 31 new students joining our program. We had 111 people experiencing capoeira through our free trial class service. We kept the Saturday classes outdoors during the warm months increasing the exposure of the art of capoeira to the community including the Mommy Daddy & Me that is now a year-round program. We had some nice performances in several schools and parks in the DC metro area and we had the huge honor to represent Brazil and the Brazilian culture with a performance at the WORLD CULTURAL FESTIVAL held in DC a mega event that reached nearly 1 million attendees over 3 days with performances representing around 180 countries. We were invited once again to offer capoeira classes at John Hopkins University as part of the Portuguese Brazilian Culture program they have. And finally we also resumed trips for events in California New York and Brazil. This last one for the Abada-Capoeira International festival and World games. We had a group of 12 students going 6 competing 2 achieving the quarter finals. Last but not least Yara Cordeira our program director received the honor of graduating as Mestranda Yara. She is now one of only 6 women that are part of the Board of Mestres and Mestrandos that guide and direct Abada-Capoeira in the whole world. We promoted the traditional annual Batizado graduation ceremony and workshops and we held the second edition of ACDC Capital Games open to capoeiristas from all over the US. We had guests coming from Brazil Canada Puerto Rico and many USA locations. It was an intense week of experience exchange. We are proud of our ACDC students that were able to get a total of 10 medals in multiple categories in the competition. We also received the visit of instructors professors and Mestres from out of town for some experience exchange as well as we participated in events with other schools and the capoeira community in the Washington DC area.

We kept our community outreach activities such as our VDAT street cleanings of Newbrook Drive in Chantilly VA our batizado food drive to benefit Western Christian Ministries a mental health awareness campaign a winter clothing drive to benefit Women Giving Back a blood drive and a donation of diverse items for Goodwill in VA.
