We close 2025 with good practices and very axé
The international institution CEDANZE Academia João Pequeno de Pastinha – CECA ・Mestre Faísca has promoted social welfare, education and culture through good manual practices, especially in a time that virtuality has caused harm to children, youth and adults!
For this, the CEDANZE AJPP-CECA has used its richest tool contained in Afro-Brazilian knowledge and memory through the courses of Capoeira Angola and Samba, stimulating motor coordination, bringing the citizen closer to sport, education, art, of music, percussion and cultural and linguistic diversity.
In the cities and countries that CEDANZE AJPP-CECA has worked, its actions have strengthened the family, collective life and integrating special people, generations and genders, producing a political awareness and criticism of the citizen.
During the year 2025, the master Faísca, teachers(a), trenéos, monitors(as) of CEDANZE AJPP-CECA has actively participated in events, seminars, cultural exchanges, producing Capoeira Angola and Samba wheels, Capoeira meetings, to the example of Brincadeira D’Angola Paris 2025, among others!
We hold permanent Capoeira Angola and Samba classes in this year of 2025 in our Capoeira Angola centers around the world: In Brazil, in the cities of Salvador and São Paulo, in Chile, in the city of Santiago de Chile, and in France in the city of Paris. Another relevant fact is that we maintain in Brazil, weekly for 30 years a wheel of Capoeira Angola and Samba, which takes place every Friday at our headquarters in the city of Salvador – Bahia, located in the community of Vale das Pedrinhas in the neighborhood of Rio Vermelho!
Our unique differential is our ancestral line “African Master Benedito, Master Pastinha and Master João Pequeno de Pastinha” in which we preserve its technique, allied to the pedagogy developed by the team of Master Faísca, that allows any person to be part of our activities.
In search of a qualified training the CEDANZE Academia João Pequeno de Pastinha – CECA ・Mestre Faísca, has demanded from its faculty and the adherents of the institution: Rigor, focus, appreciation, discipline, persistence and resilience!
Capoeira Angola is a great promoter of welfare, education, culture and social justice, but people to fully enjoy their rights, needs a coherent citizen training, and we have prized for it in CEDANZE AJPP-CECA ・Mestre Faísca.
Remember that Capoeira, which is an Afro-Brazilian culture and one of the most fascinating sports in the world, was recognized by UNESCO as cultural heritage of humanity!
Finally my comrades, paraphrasing our dear master Gildo Alfinete “Capoeira Angola is gold”, and in this way, we are closing the year 2025 with a golden key!
I want to thank all our team of teachers (s), trenéos, monitors (s) who worked side by side this year, overcome differences, strengthened friendship, treated students (s) and visitors with kindness, with an understanding that united we are stronger, and that our greater cause, is a fairer world!
My thanks also to the members of our association of Capoeira Angola: children, teens and adults, as well as your families, for companionship and respect the internal rules of CEDANZE AJPP-CECA.
I could not forget the partner institutions, teachers and teachers who represent Capoeira in the world, as well as our friends and family!
COME THE YEAR 2026,
That axé, stay with God and Our Lady – Positive Vibrations!
