'I had never done samba before but you didn't have to. The steps are really simple. For the whole hour you do imagine yourself at the Rio carnival. The music is fantastic and it is an expressive dance and you do build up a sweat. I had a lot of fun - great laugh!' S. Moutia

Brazilian Samba Beginners

*Nominated Brazilian Dance School of the Year by LUKAS Awards

Do you want to get a lean and sexy Brazilian beach body? Try something new - have fun, workout and learn new moves in our Central London venues.

Brazilian Samba is a highly energetic, calorie-burning, body-slimming dance and also a great cardio workout. You will be dancing and exercising at the same time releasing all the stress from the day whilst toning your whole body - abs, legs, bums and arms. This samba class will whip you into shape and get your body ready to do the hip-swinging samba.

The Brazilian Samba beginners course is suitable for those who have never done samba before or those with little experience in samba. Our samba classes are designed to work on strengthening your core, improving your general fitness levels and loosening your body with isolation exercises. You will learn basic samba steps and moves, samba walks and styling which will also be implemented in easy to follow samba choreographies giving you a great cardio workout. We use a mix of traditional samba music (like the one at the Rio Carnival), "batukada" (drums) and popular songs and hits remixed with samba beat by Brazilian DJs.

Please note that this is a solo dance (not danced as a couple). Click Brazilian Samba to find out more about the different types of samba you can see in Brazil.
