FICA-DC held its annual Rodathon on Saturday, February 3. It started out with a few brave souls and some coffee at 9:00 am and ended up a red-hot roda with folks from all over the East Coast.
CM Chorão from Grupo do Acupe-Indianapolis was at the rodathon, after giving class on Thursday and Friday and a lecture about his time in capoeira in Salvador. We had support from Baltimore, and a crew from New York. We also had a good number of spectators. Everyone from FICA-DC pitched in for a potluck feast with moqueca, gumbo, chicken, rice & red beans, plain old rice, couscous, tabouli, greens, tons of fruit, cake, pastries, juice, and, as always, varieties of flan.
The rodathon brought in enough dough to cover the tickets for Linda G., Maria Luz and Nena, and a van for the rest. Linda G. was especially honored for her commitment to the group. Special thanks to Troy, above, who raised the most money.
Thank you to CM Chorão for the wonderful workshops.
