Capoeira Mandinga Beijing will hold a "baptism" party for its members. The ritual is for those who practice Capoeira, a Brazilian tradition that mixes martial arts, dance and music. Beginners will wear a green belt, while the more experienced practitioners wear yellow, blue or white belt to symbolize their seniority. Spectators can enjoy the performances by the group's members while sipping cocktails.
8 pm, Sept 7. Mako Live House, Hongdian Art Factory, Courtyard 36, Guangqu Road, Chaoyang district, Beijing. 010-5205-1112.
