About Cordao de Ouro Capoeira Atlanta

Cordao de Ouro Capoeira Atlanta

Cordão de Ouro (CDO) Atlanta is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide lifelong learning and empowerment for the development of a more equal, just and healthy community. Under the leadership of Contra Mestre Muriel Souza Ribeiro, CDO Atlanta advances this mission through quality instruction in the art of capoeira. Capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian martial art/dance, was originated by African slaves brought to Brazil during the Colonial period. These Africans created capoeira which served as a form of cultural expression in opposition to the institution of slavery. Capoeira consists of an improvised dialogue of the body, which is underpinned by philosophical, physical, musical and cultural elements.
