Instructor: Beto

Born and raised in Olinda, Pernambuco (northeastern Brazil),  Beto Guimaraes has dedicate the last 20 years of his life to sharing the richness of his culture through dance!  There are many forms of Brazilian dance, Samba being the most widely known.  

There is no partnering in this style of Brazilian dancing - just you, the music, and pure joy!  With recognizable African roots, the movements of this dance are aerobic and fun, rhythmic and soul nourishing. This 2 hour workshop will start with fundamentals, the history behind the music and dance.  This is a great opportunity for dancers to learn both intellectually and physically the many joys that this style of Samba has to offer!   The 2 hour workshop format allows students to get enough information for the moves to stick to their bones while getting the heart rate (and spirits) up!

No prior experience required.
