On the 1st February 2013 Mestre Pezão founded the Grupo de Capoeira Angola Dendê de Maré, beginning a new journey into the world of capoeira. Currently, Mestre Pezao is living and teaching Capoeira Angola classes in London, UK, contributing to the dissemination and keeping alive. This group seeks to preserve the roots of the tradition of this beautiful art through teaching movement, music and culture that is attached to the art form. Dendê de Maré believes in the power of this art not only for being a symbol of resistance and freedom but also for the many layers which are deeply rooted in our development as human beings.
