What is the legacy of the genre/form/style you are teaching?
Samba is a rhythm and a dance that exudes equal parts beauty, spirituality, and resistance. Borne in Brazil from enslaved Africans, samba has spread to the mainstream and is now one of the country’s most famous exports. Samba is constantly evolving in all of its forms; currently there are many popular samba sub-genres, including pagode, samba rock, bossa nova, etc.
What background, training, and or relationship do you have with this style/technique/class subject?
SambaViva teachers have a minimum of 5 (and as many as 20!) years dancing and training samba and other Brazilian styles. All have trained closely with Brazilian instructors both intensively and over many years. Our regular instructors have traveled extensively in the country to study dance but also to participate in the culture, learn the language, and explore the many sites and experiences Brazil has to offer.
Finish this statement: I am passionate about teaching this style because…
…Samba is contagious!
