HistóriaAngá Capoeira Maryland energizes Silver Spring with rodas, classes and a March batizado
Based in downtown Silver Spring, Angá Capoeira Maryland runs year‑round training for kids, teens and adults, welcoming beginners and veterans alike [1]. The group lists its base at 11226 Triangle Lane, steps from the core of the neighborhood’s arts corridor [2]. The program frames capoeira as an Afro‑Brazilian art of movement, music and community, with an emphasis on inclusion and personal growth [3].As part of the international Angá Capoeira network’s Washington contingent, the Maryland crew links its local work to a wider lineage and visiting workshops [4]. The calendar features classes, open rodas and special events; the team staged a batizado in March 2024 that brought students into the circle for their belt‑changing ceremony [1][5].The footprint stretches across the DMV, with activity and outreach shared through community channels like a DC–Maryland Facebook hub and instructor updates on Instagram [6][7]. In Silver Spring, Angá frequently collaborates with Roda Movements for training and showcase rodas, keeping the energy accessible to neighbors and newcomers [2][8].
