Course programme

Starting with a warm up and stretching you will learn the basic Samba steps, basic co-ordination (which can be useful to any style of dance) and finish with a relaxing cool-down.

You will be introduced to all the different styles of Samba dance while enjoying the fantastic sounds of Brazilian music. From the incredibly sensual and fast ‘hip shaking’ of the female ‘Passista’ through the roughish ‘gangster-like’ moves of the male ‘Malandro’ to the twirling, swirling ‘Baiana’ known as the mother of carnival.
You will also experience Samba music that has developed under western influences and became popular at the edge of millennium such as Samba rock or Samba with Hip Hop. Samba dance is extremely diverse, with many characters and roles.
