Gerdson Dias Alves , known in Capoeira as Instructor Sapo, was born on November 27, 1984 in Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. Sapo spent his entire childhood in a coastal city called Olinda, Brasil where he was first exposed to Capoeira when he was 8 years old and instantly felt a deep connection to it. After only a short while, Sapo began to train Capoeira with an admirable dedication and passion. After many years of practice, Sapo received his cord to be a Capoeira instructor by his first-ever Capoeira Mestre. This marked the beginning of his life-long journey and development as a Capoeira Instructor working intensively in schools, festivals, city projects, and missions for street youth.
Sapo participated in many Capoeira encounters in Brazil and in 2003 was invited to Canada to participate in an international Capoeira encounter in Vancouver, Canada. He remained in Vancouver where he taught Capoeira classes and workshops, and became part of the Afro-Brazilian performance group, performing live shows across Canada. In that same year, Sapo moved to Calgary where he opened the first Capoeira Camara academy in Calgary. Today, Sapo is part of the group “Capoeira Camarà” which, is also found in Toronto, Montreal, Peterborough, Bermuda and Brazil. Sapo has developed a strong camaraderie and an excellent working relationship with Contra-Mestre Bola, the founder of Capoeira Camarà.
Sapo demonstrates a dedication to his teaching and to the art of Capoeira, he is unquestionably the motivating force behind the group’s remarkable growth. He aspires to train strong students and contribute to Coast-to-Coast expansion of Capoeira in Canada.

Raja Geddam (Samson) started dancing in 2003 with a beginner ballroom dance class at the University of Calgary. As he enjoyed dancing, he got more and more involved with the U of C Ballroom club and then with the U of C Student Dance Club at the end of 2004. Towards the end of 2004 he was introduced to LA style Salsa and fell in love with this high energy and flashy dance. In June of 2005, he won the first Salsa Competition in Calgary.
Samsom then went on to expand his dancing skills by learning the Cuban style Salsa as well as the Rueda Casino. In September of 2005, Samson became a dance instructor at the U of C Student Dance Club as well as a teaching assistant for Alberta Dancesport, U of C Ballroom Club and The Studio. He competed in the Wildrose Ballroom Competition in 2005 at the Bronze and Silver levels. Later that year he attended the 2005 Vancouver International Salsa Congress. In 2006, Samson participated in more ballroom as well as salsa competitions, organized a number of Salsa events in Calgary, and also started performing Salsa shows at several Calgary events.
Samson’s goal is to make Calgary a major location for Salsa dancing by promoting and teaching this dance to more and more Calgarians.
