Oh, by the way, I am part of the group Quilombo do Queimado (QdoQ), D.C. We started the group in February 2003, after becoming affiliated with Mestre Curisco, based in Seattle.

Just thought I'd throw that out there since we have regular folks coming from your area. Classes are in DC though but if you'd like, we can arrange a ride.

yeah that would be awsome beanie but where are they exactly and how much is it to take the classes. Also what are the names of the people that live out by me?

[Beanie]

The classes are in DC (2 are at Joe's Movement Emporium in Mt. Rainier) and the other 2 are near 14th and U NW.

Classes are $15/class or (more cheaply) $100/month (which gives you access to workshops and extra goodies...I hate that word "goodies"). IF you have a child or know children under 13, the classes are free. IF you are a full-time student then the class costs are cut in half ($7.50/class and $50/month).

Names of people near you? You'd have to email me for that info.

I would be wary of BCV Capoeira. They've come under scrutiny the past few years for particular methods of teaching Capoeira. I've personally never heard anything bad about them. Also, no one has really come across who the BCV founders trained under. They teach an eclectic style of TKD, Weapons, Kenpo, and Capoeira.

Their method of teaching the music does not follow Capoeira traditions as they apparently combine keyboard music from Cape Verde into their training regimen. They apparently teach Cape Verdean language in addition to Portuguese. Again, some cause for speculation, however, the Verdean language holds some ties to certain Creole languages spoken in Brazil.
