Course Details

When the Brazilian Samba was first introduced to the U.S. Dance Masters in 1929, it became an overnight sensation. Like many other Brazilian dances, the music is an amalgamation of African and Latin American rhythm that is adorned with expressive, melodic lines.

In form, the Samba is a serenade; the repetition of its melody is continually interrupted by the strumming of a guitar or other stringed instruments.

Brazilian Samba Classes

Samba no pé (literally, "samba in the foot") is a solo dance that is commonly danced impromptu when samba music is played. It’s what you think of when you imagine Brazilian Carnival parade dancers — with gigantic feather headdresses and elaborate (and skimpy) beaded costumes.
