DANCE WORKSHOPS

$35.00

Step into the rhythms of Afro-Brazilian dance — no experience necessary. Our pop-up workshops bring the energy of Carnaval and samba reggae into a welcoming, hands-on studio setting, where beginners and experienced movers alike learn side by side.

Sessions run 1–2 hours, taught in the tradition of Brazilian community dance — where movement isn't performed for an audience so much as shared with everyone in the room. No partner or prior experience required, just comfortable clothing and shoes you can move in.

Open to kids and adults. Click "Enroll" to see upcoming dates.

[ What to expect ]

ARTISTIC INTERPRETATION —

Rhythm and movement in the Afro-Brazilian tradition leave room for individual expression — students learn the foundational patterns, then find their own feel and voice within them.

COGNITIVE CONDITIONING —

Drumming and dance build coordination, timing, and focus in real time — training the ear and body to work together, not separately.

STAGE PRESENCE —

Even in a workshop setting, students learn to carry themselves with confidence — the posture and presence that comes from feeling grounded in a rhythm or movement.

TECHNICAL MASTERY —

Core rhythms and movement vocabulary are broken down and built up step by step, so beginners leave with real technique, not just an experience.

MOCK PERFORMANCES —

Each session builds toward a closing run-through, where the group brings everything together — a low-pressure taste of performing in the tradition these rhythms come from.

  • Comfortable clothing you can move freely in. No special footwear is required.

  • Yes — workshops are open to both, and mixed-age groups are part of the experience.

  • Each session is dedicated to one or the other — check the specific date you're enrolling in to see which is being offered.

  • Each workshop builds toward a group run-through at the end of the session — a low-pressure way to put what you've learned into practice, not a formal audition or public performance.
