Mestre Roberval
We are delighted to be bringing Mestre Roberval to Manchester for a spring weekend workshop.
This will be a valuable opportunity to share in the knowledge and experience of one of the great Mestres of Capoeira Angola.
We will also be welcoming Professor Boneco back to Manchester, after his great workshop for us here in February.
