Brazilian Popular Dances

Levanta Poeira is a school that offers lessons in samba and other brazilian dances in the heart of Montreal.

...Three Months Later...

The spring session is coming at you with a brand new face! My trip to Brazil has brought me even closer to my roots, my values and my spirituality. I have further discovered the country I grew up in, and that I love so much. From the bottom of my heart, I would like to share this with you in simplicity, without competition, without labels, without pretense...

Sharing this with you, the lovers and the curious of Brazilian culture, is the reason for my return. Keeping my country alive inside of me is my inner strength. Thanks for your interest and ...Boa vivência!!

Levanta Poeira is a popular expression in Brazil which means "lift the dust". This is a phenomenon you will find everywhere in the country - where this is a living cultural manifestation, where the people come together to play, to dance, to party. Where the earth is pounded by the feet of the common people - simple, talented, festive - a great cloud of dust rises into the sky. It is the sign that the warmth of the brazilian spirit is present!

It also means, as an expression: "Don't give up! We can change things!"
