Description: In this class we will learn the traditional samba steps from Rio de Janeiro, along with Samba do Pe from Salvador de Bahia. We will learn to play with the different rhythmic variations of Samba and Afro Brazilian movements eventually leading up to full choreographies. Carnival in Brazil is one of the major holidays, and one of the first times historically when people of all races were allowed to celebrate together. It was a time when social norms and class were no longer important as women, children, Africans, Portuguese and Indigenous were all free to celebrate and dance together. Samba dance itself is a fusion of these various cultures as the indigenous and African movements merged in colonial Brazil. This is the courage of Samba~ a chance to come together and celebrate! All ages are welcome** – See more at: http://www.pasionyarteflamenco.org/conservatory-classes/#sthash.H6lArIE0.dpuf
