Travel & Housing – Vivência de Capoeira Regional

Event Dates: Thursday, Apr 24 @6pm – Sunday, Apr 27 @ 12pm

We request that you arrange for your own housing. We recommend finding a location in or near zip code 76110. We can put you in contact with others who are looking for housing, to help lower your costs, or help to facilitate if possible.

If you are flying in, there are two possible airports: DFW and DAL. There is a train into downtown from DFW airport. There is no easy public transportation from DAL.

A ride-share from either airport to our studio can cost between $45-70, depending on surge charges. The train is just $2.50, and a ride-share from the station is less than $20.

We will try to facilitate rides to and from event locations, to the best of our ability.
