Summer 2 Session 🤍

Life moves fast, and we believe it’s important to acknowledge the wins along the way - learning something new, stepping into a new space, showing up consistently, supporting one another, and being proud of the progress you’ve made.

In a world being shaped by AI and screens, we wanted to celebrate in one of the most human ways possible: breaking bread together 🍽️

We missed those who couldn’t join us, but we’re grateful for every student and family who continues to be part of our Village ♡

Rise Training Academy is proud to recognize De Boa as our first homegrown capoeira instructor!

De Boa began training under my guidance before the founding of Rise Training Academy in 2017. Over the years, I have watched her grow in her movement, understanding of the art, her resilience, and her commitment to the work. This promotion recognizes the responsibility she has taken on within our capoeira program.

She has continued to serve the Rise community in visible ways and behind the scenes. Her contributions go beyond the training floor through student support, events, marketing, partnerships, and care for the academy.

With this Instructor cord comes responsibility, continued learning, and service. Her promotion sets an example for our students and future instructors at Rise.

Parabéns, Instructora De Boa!
