Classes


The classes are open to everybody. The spirit is in sharing the moment, having fun, practising the basic steps, letting yourself go. Each person evolves in their own way - we get a good workout and we let ourselves be carried to the other end of the world. We experiment with new forms of expression and interaction. In every class, I propose a little trip to Brazil.


Beginner classes focus on basic technique. Principles:

  • Body awareness (individual and collective)
  • Learn and practice the basic steps
  • Perfect individual movements


Intermediary classes turn up the rhythm and push us further:

  • Evolve the basic steps into choreographies
  • Take advantage of the energy of momentum, let ourselves go
  • Explore interaction and improvisation in the "Rodas"



How to dress

Comfortable shoes are recommended (preferably dance shoes that can slide, for samba!)

You're welcome to wear an ample skirt with leggings, as there are many spinning forms in certain dances.
