Current Classes: Check Calendar for current sessions. New sessions start at the beginning of each month. Tuesday 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm, Beginner Level with Kailtlyn Jolly 7:45 pm - 8:45 pm, Intermediate Level with Rebekah Fowler Fee: *See 'Weekly Programs' on our Rates page. About the class: This class will cover the fundamentals of samba as it is danced in the Bahia and Rio regions of Brazil. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the basic samba step, developing proper technique, and learning a range of movements and footwork associated with each regional style. This type of samba should not be confused with "ballroom samba", so no partner is necessary.
Who should do it: Anyone who is willing to have some fun while dancing, sweat a little, and shake their hips a lot. Some previous dance experience (jazz, Latin or African-based dance) is recommended but not essential. This class is designed for beginning and intermediate-level dancers.
What to wear: Comfortable workout or dance wear is suggested. No special footwear is required for this class; students can dance in bare feet, dance/jazz sneakers, or lightweight tennis shoes, depending on preference.
