We’ve reached the end of another year already—just when you think a year is a long time, how quickly time flies and slips through our fingers. But we’ve still got some housekeeping and events to settle before the year is over:

• Academia will be closed for Christmas. There will be no classes on Friday, 24th December and Saturday, 25th December.
• Bantus Capoeira will have its last public roda for 2004 on Wednesday, 29th December at Bangsar. Meet up in front of Telawi Street Bistro from 9pm. Everyone is invited and there will be no more classes for the rest of the year after this, so don’t miss out!
• We’ll be partying and performing on New Year’s Eve at Mutiara Damansara’s newest shopping centre—The Curve, opposite Ikea/Ikano Power Centre. Join Bantus Capoeira there from 8pm to 10:30pm then stay on as we count down to 2005! This show has been cancelled.
• The academia will reopen for 2005 on Monday, 3rd January.

That wraps up our last month in 2004. It has been a great year for Bantus Capoeira Malaysia, and we hope it has been for you as well. In closing this update, we want to shout out a big THANK YOU to all our family, friends and students for their support and making everything possible.

There are many ways of going forward, but only one way of standing still. - Franklin D. Roosevelt

Merry Christmas, happy holidays and have a fantastic new year!
