Beginner Samba no pe Workshop:
Get ready to shake your hips! This class will give students a solid foundation in the fundamentals of samba while exploring its many expressions: folkloric samba de Roda, glittery, elegant Rio-style “passista” samba, playful, jazzy “malandro” samba, pop-style “pagode,” samba from Bahia, African “samba afro,” and more. This type of samba should not be confused with “ballroom samba,” so no partner is necessary.
June 26, 6:15pm-7:45pm
All-Levels Samba no pe workshop:
Whether you are a seasoned Sambista or new to Samba, there is something for everyone in this class! We are going to focus on Rio Style Samba no pe and bringing the performance element to life! You can expect Samba drills, progressions, sequences with playful footwork, and lots and lots of Samba! This type of samba should not be confused with “ballroom samba,” so no partner is necessary.
Melissa has worked with Austin Samba, the largest samba school in the United States, as a choreographer, director, and principal dancer.
In 2016, she founded MeliSamba,
a group of professional Samba dancers in Austin, Texas. http://www.melisamba.com/“
